Bill McGlaughlin and Gino Francesconi, director of Carnegie Hall's Archives and Rose Museum, continue touring backstage for a view of the Hall’s three concert venues, its history, and the legendary performers who have appeared on its stages. Carnegie Hall has been the site for thousands of premieres in all genres of music and spoken word. Listen to artists' stories and hear some of the great ones—like Ella Fitzgerald and Leonard Bernstein—who have graced its legendary stage.

Part II of Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin: Carnegie Hall will be broadcast Monday, February 26 through Friday, March 2 on the WFMT network. Check local listings for station and broadcast information.
