On our next musical hour, flautist Tara Helen O’Connor and pianist Ran Dank deliver a virtuosic interpretation of the Flute Sonata by Prokofiev. Then later, the Dover Quartet plays Tchaikovsky’s String Quartet in D Major, whose famous second movement was said to have moved the novelist Leo Tolstoy to tears.
