Youth may be wasted on the young, at least according to George Bernard Shaw, but a skillful composer knows how to make the most of youthful talent.

Join me tomorrow morning on WPRB, as we listen to music written for young musicians, by such composers as Benjamin Britten, Aaron Copland, Dmitri Kabalevsky, Zoltán Kodály, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Robert Moran, Carl Orff, and Grace Williams.

We’ll also be visited by representatives of the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey, which will perform two concerts this Sunday at Kendall Hall on the campus of The College of New Jersey in Ewing, and the Princeton Girlchoir, which will appear at McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton on Sunday night.

It will be a veritable fountain of youth tomorrow morning from 6 to 11 EST, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. I may be an old soul, but I’m also nothing if not young at heart, on Classic Ross Amico.
