Rhythm and Strings
A hypnotic performance on the marimba by 16-year-old Joshua Jones of Chicago, Illinois, kicks off season two of "From the Top at Carnegie Hall". Whether he's accompanying the gospel choir in his church or playing with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Percussion Scholarship Group, Josh finds rhythm all around him, sometimes even while doing his household chores. Also featured is 12-year-old violinist Anna Lee, from Queens, New York, whose classmates affectionately call her "one small girl with one big attitude." Accompanied by host Christopher O'Riley, Anna gives a performance of Pablo de Saraste's "Ziguenerweisen" ("Gypsy Airs"), Op. 20, No. 1, and also appears as one-third of the Maggiore Trio – the final performers on this episode. Rounding out the trio are 11-year-old pianist Alice Burla, who was featured in the first season of "From the Top at Carnegie Hall", and 13-year-old cellist Taeguk Mun. The Maggiore Trio brings the season premiere to its climax with a performance of the third movement, Presto ("Gypsy Rondo"), from Haydn's Piano Trio in G Minor.
