Today’s Beautiful Music is a tender performance of ESTRELLITA (little star) by Manuel Ponce. Originally a song, this is an arrangement for violin and piano by Jascha Heifetz, who often played it as an encore piece at his concerts. This 2019 performance features a pair of young performers — violinist Nathan Meltzer and pianist Jessica Xylina Osborne — at the Longy School of Music of Bard College.
