Now Hear This is a primetime PBS miniseries now filming its 5th season that brings the greatest music ever written to millions of viewers, with modern storytelling that captivates. Now Hear This opens the world of classical music to new audiences, while giving existing fans new ways to love their music. Now Hear This is presented by Great Performances, celebrating its 50th season on PBS, and this year begins international distribution.
Join renowned violinist Scott Yoo in Now Hear This, a new four-part documentary miniseries that merges music, storytelling, and travel, as he chases the secret histories of some of the greatest music ever written.
Scott Yoo investigates the story behind Vivaldi’s Four Seasons – and discovers a new Vivaldi work, his connection to Stradivarius, a treasure trove of original manuscripts, and that Vivaldi himself was almost lost to history.
In Germany, Scott discovers a riddle that Bach left in his only official portrait. In trying to solve it, he and his wife Alice Dade, also a star musician, discover Bach’s true personality and his surprising influences, leading them to a spectuacular finale in Paris.
Scott goes on the trail of Domenico Scarlatti, the most influential composer you’ve never heard of. From Italian, Spanish, Moorish, Jewish, Gypsy, dance and guitaristic roots, Scarlatti created a new musical language, more relevant today than in his own time.
Before becoming London’s most famous composer, Handel did his ‘graduate school’ in Italy. Scott traces his footsteps and his inspirations – not just music, but art, architecture, fashion, food and wine – to understand how Italy shaped this German composer for the rest of his life.
Join Scott Yoo, star violinist and conductor, for more unexpected stories of our greatest composers including Haydn, Schubert, and Mozart; more spectacular journeys through Europe, the US and Canada; more breathtaking photography, locations and sound; and more unforgettable performances from some of today's leading musicians.
Scott discovers how Joseph Hadyn combined folk music from across Europe with his own unique style and belief system to create the string quartet, influencing all composers after him.
Scott meets some of today’s leading young musicians, none older than Franz Schubert during his career, to gain a deeper appreciation for the composer’s brilliant work and tragically short life.
Scott teaches pianist Stewart Goodyear to conduct, so he can lead the orchestra through Mozart’s titanic 20th piano concerto — while improvising the solos — just as Mozart would have done.
Scott makes a landmark recording, centered around Beethoven's famous Ghost Trio. This summons the ghost of Beethoven, trailed by Sigmund Freud who’s intent on analyzing him, in this eccentric mix of documentary and ghost story.
In this special American Edition of Now Hear This, celebrated violinist and conductor Scott Yoo crosses the country, exploring the diversity of American musicians, cultures and landscapes to discover how our regional and ethnic music has inspired America’s greatest composers: Amy Beach, Florence Price, Aaron Copland and two of today’s masters, Sergio Assad and Reena Esmail.
At his music festival, Scott plays America’s greatest Romantic composer, Amy Beach. In New England, he explores her roots and career. At a time when society looked down on women composers, Beach worked to invent a new American music.
Scott explores the newly rediscovered music of Florence Price, to understand how African-American spirituals — a mixture of West African songs and European hymns — influenced her work and nearly all of American popular music.
Scott spends a month each year teaching students, just as Aaron Copland did during his career. Together they’ll play Copland’s music to learn how he drew from his roots and American folk songs to invent the American sound.
Scott meets and plays with modern masters: Sergio Assad shows him how Brazilian music inspires his work, now staples of the classical canon. Reena Esmail draws from traditional Indian rhythms and scales to create her signature sound.
Conductor and violinist Scott Yoo is on the road. Join him in Buenos Aires to learn the tango and Piazzolla’s conflicted relationship with it. In Scotland and Germany, explore the connection between mental health and creativity, in Schumann and other artists. In New York, meet a composer pointing classical in a new direction. And in Spain, discover the breathtaking musical portraits of Albeniz.
Scott and Alice travel to Buenos Aires to discover the music of Astor Piazzolla, who fell in love with tango. Then fell out of love. Then tango fell out of love with him. Scott and Alice play with Argentina’s greatest musicians and dancers, to find out if Piazzolla and tango could reconcile.
Scott goes to Scotland, Germany and France, with leading musicians, psychiatrists and scholars, to try to understand the connection between mental health and creativity in the work of Robert Schumann and other great artists. Featuring the great cellist Bion Tsang.
Scott follows modern composer, steel pan virtuoso and video artist Andy Akiho through his neighborhoods of New York, to figure out how this unassuming musical visionary has combined Caribbean, Asian and jazz influences to become one of today’s most in-demand composers.
Scott travels with guitarist Manuel Barrueco and pianist Juan Perez Floristan through the great Spanish cities of Andalusia, to see how Isaac Albéniz captured their culture, history and sounds in a brilliant series of musical portraits, his most celebrated works.
Travel with Scott Yoo, Mexico City Philharmonic chief conductor, on a voyage of musical discovery as he travels the world to explore the greatest music ever written, from the Baroque to the present. Meet incredible musical prodigies, great virtuosos in may art forms, revered maestros like Yo-Yo Ma, and get an inside look at the challenges of composing, as Scott writes his very first work.
Join Scott Yoo as he travels the world to explore some of the greatest music ever written. All of the composers in Season Six are expats or exiles--their music inspired equally by nostalgia for a homeland they couldn’t return to, and new friendships, ideas and opportunities in new places. Their careers were marked by loss and longing, but ultimately renewal and redemption. From Great Performances.
Follow Scott Yoo and pianist Jan Lisiecki as they explore Chopin’s life, his Polish roots, and his journey to Paris taking a closer look at the composer's musical evolution and his deep connection to his homeland while living in France.

Follow Rachmaninoff’s journey from a Russian aristocrat to an American artist after the Bolshevik revolution. Forced to rebuild at 44, he embraced modern technology, toured extensively and reinvented his career while longing for his lost homeland.
Explore Agustin Barrios’ journey from rural Paraguay to global recognition as a guitar composer. Despite facing rejection and personal struggles, his innovative compositions and passion for Latin American folk music made him a 20th-century icon.
Scott Yoo, violinist and conductor of the Mexico City Philharmonic, explores the lives and works of Johannes Brahms and Scott Joplin, two celebrated composers whose careers did not go as planned, alongside the music scene of two major musical epicenters: Istanbul and Iceland. From Great Performances.
Johannes Brahms was a quiet, private person, but he lived a life worthy of a novel. Scott Yoo crosses Germany with pianist Elisabeth Brauss and cellists Johannes Moser and Max Hornung to find a window into Brahms' secret past and unrequited love, and discover how Brahms reached a turning point to become one of the greatest composers ever known.
