Every weekday morning at 10 a.m., the hosts at Classical MPR play a stand-out work based on the theme for the week. We call them Morning Glories.
This week on Morning Glories, we're featuring five outstanding young soloists. In fact, they're all under 30.
Our line-up includes Conrad Tao, whose new disc will be featured on New Classical Tracks this week (with free download) - and we'll salute 29-year-old Julia Fischer on Friday, before she turns 30 on Saturday.
