Clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein steps in at the last moment as a pinch hitter for an ailing Martin Fröst to play Mozart with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. He also takes the show on the road as the orchestra heads to Asia — all while playing an entire program of music that's brand new to him.
Alex joins Classical MPR's Alison Young in studio to talk about keeping his cool while in the spotlight.
