Esther Budiardjo (bood-YAR-doh) is a young musician who crosses musical boundaries. She was born in Indonesia and studies in Boston. In 1999 she released a CD that includes pieces by the composer Leopold Godowski that draw on the Indonesian tradition. We'll hear her perform six of Brahms' Hungarian Dances: Nos. 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. She played them at the Epic Center in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in December, 2001.
