Figaro, Spanish lullaby and self-taught trumpeter

A teenage violinist plays out the memorable Figaro The Barber of Seville and a mezzo-soprano sings a beautiful lullaby by a Venezuelan composer and shares her passion for singing works in Spanish. We also hear from a teenage trumpeter and decorated Eagle Scout who turned to YouTube and the world’s best trumpeters to help him get started with his
instrument.
