In this episode of my Muse in Music video blog, I talk with Nate Bachhuber, the Vice President of Artistic Planning at the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (CSO), about his approaches to artistic planning at the CSO, particularly as they pertain to the music of living composers. We discuss where the field of orchestral music might be heading and the extent to which orchestras are now striving to make their programming more relevant to their audiences. Nate talks specifically about what the CSO has been doing to this end.
