For this episode in my "Muse in Music" video blog, I am thrilled to be interviewing Galen Wixson, President and CEO of the Lubbock Symphony. We talk about how important it is for orchestras to support new music and living composers, while still balancing that with programming the recognized names that audience members love.

Please join me as I talk with Peter Bay, the Music Director of the Austin Symphony Orchestra as well as the conductor of the Arizona Philharmonic, about what inspires him in his work as a conductor. He has diverse musical interests and champions underperformed music. Among other things, we talk about how he programs orchestral music and balances performing the classics that audiences love with allowing lesser-heard voices to speak.
