Picture this: A five-year-old boy goes to a piano recital and asks if he can play one of his own compositions on the program. The problem? The boy has never taken piano lessons, and it’s not his recital—it’s his older brother’s!
But for young composer Robert Beaser, this was no problem at all. He just wanted to play his music.
Blame it on “The Moldau.”

“I just loved the sound of sound.” This is how Pulitzer Prize-finalist Carter Pann describes his early music experience. He grew up in a home where his parents listened to The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and classic rock. But they also had a series of “Greatest Classical Hits” albums, so Carter got heavy doses of Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Debussy, Beethoven, and Mozart.
