Excellence

From the Top is a showcase of the next generation of classical performing artists.
I enjoy listening to it each week.

Christoper O'Riley, the host of the program, says, "At times classical music is labeled an elitist pursuit, and I really blanch at that. The pursuit of excellence is something that overrides any consideration of what kind of music you like. These kids are really passionate about what they're doing and really good at what they're doing. No matter how you feel about classical music you're going get a positive impression about the next generation of Americans from this series."

 (emphasis mine).
