From C to Shining Sea
This week, "From the Top at Carnegie Hall" showcases young performers from all across the country, beginning with 11-year-old cellist Lev Mamuya from Newton, Massachusetts. One of the youngest performers to appear on the television show, Lev is also a proud member of Red Sox Nation and can't get enough of his favorite candy, Skittles. Viewers then meet 18-year-old Eliodoro Vallecillo from Santa Cruz, California, who, with the support of his family and his devoted music teacher, overcame great odds to become a rising young French horn player. Eliodoro performs the third movement, Allegro, from Mozart's Concerto No. 3 in E-Flat, K. 447. The Chicagoland-area Ridere String Quartet, composed of 18-year-olds Samantha Bennett, Ryan Meehan, Emma Steele and Mindy Park, finds that they not only play well together, but have a wonderful time doing so. They named their group "Ridere," the Italian word for laughter. The young women and round out the episode with a lively performance of Piazzolla's "Tango for Four."
