When Michael Coonrod was in high school, he wasn't a big partier. Instead, he and a friend would listen to classical music late into the night.
Now in his 70s, Coonrod still performs some of the music that he listened to as a teen.
On this week's program, hear him in a recent recital of music by Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann.
All pieces were recorded in the Dendrinos Chapel and Recital Hall unless otherwise noted.
