Please join me as I talk with conductor Carolyn Watson about what inspires her in her work and her innovative approaches to orchestral programming. She develops unique approaches to programming that includes music by diverse and underrepresented composers, and combines that music with standard repertoire in creative ways.

For this episode, I talk with Matthew Wardell, the Music Director of the Ocala Symphony, about what inspires him in his work, how he programs for the Ocala Symphony, and how new music plays a role in his programming. In particular, we talk about how he engages this audience in this process by humanizing the composers.

In this episode, I talk with Jeffrey Biegel, an extraordinary pianist who champions the work of living composers. He has performed as a soloist with hundreds of orchestras and has performed 25 commissioned projects by living composers. In this interview, we talk about what inspires him in his work, his commissioning projects, and how commissioning projects with composers, pianists, and orchestras have developed and will continue to evolve.
