On Friday February 13, 2026, WQED-FM broadcast the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra concert live from Heinz Hall. The concert featured Arturs Maskats "Tango;" Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5 with soloist Randall Goosby; Barber's Adagio for Strings, and Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from "West Side Story."

During intermission, WQED-FM's Jim Cunningham was joined by Music Director Manfred Honeck, who talked about the Mozart and the playing of Randall Goosby; this being the first time he ever conducted the Symphonic Dances by Bernstein; and if Valentine's Day is celebrated in Austria.

Jim was also joined by Randall Goosby, who talked about his encore - Coleridge Taylor Perkinson's "Louisiana Blue Strut, A Cakewalk"; playing the Mozart; and how he hopes to come back to Pittsburgh when the weather is warmer so he can play golf at Oakmont!
