In addition to live concert performance excerpts, ''Performance Today'' also includes classical music information, news, and interviews. The show also airs in-studio recitals, and the weekly "Piano Puzzler," featuring composer Bruce Adolphe. ''Performance Today'' also periodically presents a segment called ''What Makes It Great?'' with composer and conductor Robert Kapilow. ==History== ''Performance Today'' was created by National Public Radio (NPR), and went on the air in 1987. For most of its first two years, under hosts Kathryn Loomans and Liane Hansen, it combined classical music with numerous and wide-ranging arts features. In 1989, the focus shifted exclusively to classical music. Martin Goldsmith then hosted for nearly ten years; he left in October 1999. During Goldsmith's tenure as host the show grew from 40 stations to 230, with weekly listeners reaching 1.5 million. The show won a Peabody Award in 1998.〔(58th Annual Peabody Awards ), May 1999.〕 Fred Child has been the program's host since October 2000.〔 In 2007, the show was awarded the Karl Haas Prize for Music Education by Fine Arts Radio International.〔(2007 Karl Haas Prize )〕 NPR produced and distributed the program from Washington, D.C., for 20 years. In January 2007 American Public Media took over as the program's producer and distributor and moved the production to Saint Paul, Minnesota. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Performance Today」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
