FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 16, 2002
OBERLIN CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC HOSTS PUBLIC RADIO'S
FROM THE TOP -- WITH SPECIAL GUEST BOBBY McFERRIN -- ON JAN. 28
Popular program to tape before a live audience; members of
Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra among young performers.
OBERLIN, OHIO =3F From the Top, the hit public radio program that NBC's
Today Show calls "classy reality programming," comes to Northeast Ohio on
Tuesday, January 28, at 8 p.m. to record a show before a live audience in
Finney Chapel at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music at Oberlin College. The
program, which is being recorded for broadcast later in 2003, will feature
special guest Bobby McFerrin joined by talented young musicians from around =
the country. Hosted by internationally renowned pianist Christopher
O'Riley, From the Top can be heard every Saturday at 9 p.m. on WCLV-FM
104.9FM, Cleveland's classical music radio station, and the program is
carried on more than 240 radio stations coast-to-coast. Media sponsorship
for From the Top at Oberlin is provided by WCLV.
General admission tickets for the live taping are $20 for the public; $16
for seniors, educators, and those with an OCID (Oberlin College faculty,
staff, alumni, and parents); and $7 for students and children. Because this =
event is being taped for national radio broadcast, children under the age
of seven will not be admitted. Tickets purchased at the door are an
additional $2. Discounts for groups of 10 or more are also available;
please call Oberlin's Central Ticket Service for more information.
>From the Top features the stories and performances of young, pre-collegiate =
musicians. Among the performers who will be featured on the Oberlin program =
are members of a wind nonet from the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra:
Allison Green, age 16, a flutist from Strongsville; oboists Jeff Kish of
Mentor and David Kulma of Lakewood, both 17; clarinetists Mara Mayer, 17,
from University Heights and Erika Cikraji, 16, of Bay Village; bassoonists
Katie Brooks, 16, of Pepper Pike and Katie Pletka, 17, from Parma; and horn =
players Savas Altuntas, 19, from Sheffield Lake and Sarah Greenlee, 17, of
Shaker Heights. The ensemble will perform Charles Fran=E7ois Gounod's =
Petite
Symphonie. Other musicians hail from Wisconsin and from the Juilliard
School of Music's Pre-College Division.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune has called the show "the best thing to happen
to classical music since Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts," and
in just over three years it has become the country's most popular weekly
classical music program.
Bobby McFerrin has been called "one of the natural wonders of the music
world." A 10-time Grammy Award winner, he is one of the world's best-known
vocal innovators and improvisers, a world-renowned classical conductor, the =
creator of one of the most popular songs of the late 20th century, and a
passionate spokesman for music education. His recordings have sold more
than 20 million copies, and his collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea,
the Vienna Philharmonic, and Herbie Hancock have established him as an
ambassador of both the classical and jazz worlds.
Co-producer of From the Top is Scott Schillin, a 1968 graduate of the
Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Sara Stackhouse, a 1991 Oberlin College
graduate, is the show's guest artist coordinator and education director.
>From the Top is made possible through grants from the National Endowment
for the Arts, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and The PRI Program Fund, =
whose contributors include Mr. and Mrs. J. Irwin Miller. It is also
supported by the contributions of individuals and foundations as well as
public radio stations. The program is a creation of Concert Productions,
Inc., in association with WGBH Radio Boston and the New England
Conservatory of Music, its home and education partner. From the Top is
distributed by Public Radio International.
For more information, please visit oberlin.edu/con or fromthetop.org.

school of the highest caliber situated within the intellectual vitality of
