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.

Please join me as I talk about musical inspiration, transcendence, and the process of working with living composers with Adam Johnson, the Music Director of the Baton Rouge Symphony and Guelph Symphony. Among many other things, we discuss how programming design that includes new music invites audiences in and moves them beyond their ordinary lives.
