<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 20, 2012) One of the most popular weekly music programs on public radio is coming to Potsdam this Saturday night.  For more than ten years, &quot;From the Top&quot; has been the preeminent showcase for America&apos;s best young musicians. Hosted by pianist Christopher O’Riley, the show will be recorded live in Hosmer Concert Hall at SUNY Potsdam’s Crane School of Music on Saturday night (7:30).   The Potsdam “From the Top” broadcast will feature several of the most talented young performers from across the country. The show is the final Community Performance Series Guest Artist Series event of the season. These are tough times for classical music — with recent budget cuts to arts education in public schools and some orchestras going bankrupt.  But Christopher O&apos;Riley told Todd Moe that he doesn&apos;t think the future of classical music is bleak.  He says the next generation of classical musicians are more entrepreneurial than his generation.
