Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm thrilled to be here with all of you on the stage of Historic Music Hall in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Our mission is to appreciate how others thrill the same way to music of their homeland.
The music we'll hear is from the romantic era, the 1800s.
The biggest news of our generation is the transformation of that long bickering continent into a peaceful union, the European Union.
