FUNDER TRANSCRIPT "Hi, I'm violinist Gil Shaham. It's important to have classical music on Public Radio. Classical music is a constant companion for me, and Public Radio is always there when I need it. Whenever I hear a piece I love, it reminds me of special scenes from my own life. It reminds me there is great beauty and great passion in the world - and that the best part of humanity endures through even the most challenging of times. Please keep classical music and public radio going strong by making a contribution today. Thank you."
