In 2003, I was invited for the second time to travel to the Upper West Side of Manhattan (from Chicago)to cover the International Keyboard Institute & Festival at Mannes College .  As before, my charge was to produce a broadcast series of 2-hour broadcasts.  I was particularly excited at the prospect of meeting the "High Priestess of Bach," Rosalyn Tureck...but she withdrew from the festival due to illness.  A moving was tribute was staged in her honor in place of her recital appointment and as fate would have it, she passed away in Riverdale just as the tribute was wrapping up.  I seized the opportunity to produce an audio documentary later that year and I must offer sincere thanks to all those who supported this effort--notably Sharon Isbin, Jerome Rose, and Foster Grimm.  This is the intro sequence.
