Center Stage from Wolf Trap showcases live performances from some of today's finest chamber musicians. Recorded in the acoustically superb Barns at Wolf Trap, just outside of Washington D. C. These 26 one-hour radio programs are presented by co-hosts Rich Kleinfeldt and Lee Anne Myslewski. Each show focuses on a single chamber artist or group.

Center Stage from Wolf Trap
is all about the wonder and joy of performing chamber music. Hosts Rich and Lee Anne pull the audience in to the world of chamber music, sharing backstage stories, and stories from the stage with the radio audience. We also hear from the artists. They might share why chamber music is a quintessential part of their life, or why the rigors of touring occasionally lead to difficult or embarrassing situations. Center Stage brings radio audiences closer to the lives of musicians and composers all over the world, and, by the way, also presents some really smokin' performances.
