For children of all ages
How do we share the joys of classical music with our young people? How can we open the doors to their imagination and help them to focus and listen? How do we touch their souls?

Pianist Barbara Nissman believes in making music “up close and personal.” She invites all who listen to enter a magical world and experience personally the great composers of the past. Joined by actors from the Greenbrier Valley Theatre, “Barbara & friends” introduces Franz Liszt, our very first “pop star” and the greatest pianist of all time, to listeners of all ages. This informal program combines great music with lively chat and also features some of Liszt’s well-known friends: Chopin, Paganini, George Sand and Wagner.
