From the halls of W.T. White to NPR’s airwaves, 2012 alumnus Aakash Patel hasn’t slowed down since his summer graduation.

The violinist will be featured on NPR’s ‘From The Top‘ program that showcases young musicians. Patel will perform for the recording at the Meyerson Symphony Center Jan. 4. Patel will use his skills to perform the first movement of the Third Violin Concerto by Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns.
