DeMain is the man...

Tonight's special Live From Lincoln Center "Thirty Years of Live From Lincoln Center" features a local Wisconsin connection. The program, which airs at 8 on WPT, focuses on some of the best performances of the show's three-decade run. Among those performances are two featuring John DeMain, the conductor of the Madison Symphony Orchestra.

He will appear in archival performances with Placido Domingo from 1987, and Alvy Powell and the New York City Opera from 2002. The special also features rarely seen live performances from Luciano Pavarotti, Wynton Marsalis, Yo-Yo Ma and others.
