Discoveries from the Fleisher Collection

Our own Kile Smith presents the monthly radio show Discoveries from the Fleisher Collection on the first Saturday of each month from 5 to 6 p.m. on WRTI 90.1 FM Philadelphia and webcast live at www.wrti.org

In Discoveries from the Fleisher Collection, we uncover the unknown, rediscover the little-known, and take a fresh look at some of the remarkable treasures housed in the Fleisher Collection of Orchestral Music in the Free Library of Philadelphia. The Fleisher Collection is the largest lending library of orchestral performance material in the world.
