101. Character: The Center of Attention: Host Robert Franz, George Ella Lyon, and Lawrence Dillon talk with a group of young people about where their ideas come from and how they develop a character or musical idea. Lyon reads an excerpt from her book Here and Then. Young Artist Competition winners Jim Stopher and John Popham perform the world premiere of Dillon's Reminiscence for piano and cello, a piece commissioned especially for this project.; Watch online
102. Setting the Scene: Lyon reads another selection from Here and Then showcasing setting. The Central Kentucky Youth Orchestra performs "Sunrise" from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite, a piece that shows how music can describe a setting.; Watch online
103. Conflict and Resolution: A story isn't very interesting if it doesn't have a conflict ... and neither is a piece of music. The Louisville Youth Orchestra performs a piece illustrating conflict and resolution—a storm scene from Beethoven's 6th Symphony—and Lyon reads her book One Lucky Girl.; Watch online
