By, Dan Perttu

In this episode of The Muse in Music, I welcome Robert Kahn, Music Director of the Great Falls Symphony and Assistant Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, for an engaging conversation about the art of conducting and inspiring musicians and audiences. We explore his musical influences, his approach to programming, and the growing connections between living composers, orchestras, and audiences. Robert shares his experiences with innovative programming, community engagement, and creative collaborations that enrich the concert experience. We also discuss the vital role conductors play in championing new music and the exciting possibilities for the future of orchestral music.
