From the Top
From the Top is an independent nonprofit organization known best for its longstanding NPR radio and PBS television programs with the same name. Co-founded by Gerald Slavet and Jennifer Hurley-Wales in 1995, the organization showcases and develops emerging classical musicians through live events, radio and video broadcasts, scholarships, and arts education programs aimed at empowering young citizen-artists.
From the Top is America's largest national platform celebrating the stories, talents, and character of young classically trained musicians. Through a unique balance of storytelling and musical performance, From the Top has made its mark, sharing stories and music of more than 3,000 emerging artists to a national audience.
From inception through the Oct. 22, 2018, episode, it was hosted by pianist Christopher O'Riley. Pianist and alum Peter Dugan, who had been a guest host during the 2018–2019 season, is the permanent host for its nationally distributed NPR radio program, starting with the 2020–21 season. Joining Dugan is a distinguished group of musicians as co-hosts and creatives including Vijay Gupta, Alex Laing, Tessa Lark, Orli Shaham and Charles Yang.
From the Top received two daytime Emmy Awards in 2007 and 2008 for its PBS series, From the Top Live at Carnegie Hall.
Since 2006, From the Top and the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation have awarded over $3 million in scholarships to exceptional young musicians with financial need through the Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award Scholarship.
In addition to providing young artists with an opportunity to perform on From the Top's national broadcasts, recipients are awarded up to $10,000 to help offset the costs of studying classical music at a high level.
Each year, From the Top chooses approximately 20 exceptional pre-collegiate musicians ages 8–18 to receive the award.
From the Top has featured over 3,000 diverse musicians who now perform professional in the nation's top orchestras, enjoy solo careers, educate, study astrophysics, and work to employ music as a tool to improve their communities.
