Classical music is sometimes thought of as high art, performed in beautiful music centers to serious and wealthy crowds, wearing fine clothes. But two young musicians are working hard to make this kind of music more available to new audiences. Nick Luby and Susan Zhang do this with the help of the Concert Truck, a vehicle that carries almost everything needed for a musical performance. Practicing piano is something Zhang does everyday. Ideally, I'd like to get about four hours of practicing each day. Luby does the same, especially on the days when the two musicians are to perform. After getting their piano ready, Zhang and Luby get into the Concert Truck. The two drive the truck to a farmers market in the city of Baltimore Maryland.
