The Muse in Music | Strategic Orchestra Programming - Lawrence Golan on Thematic Programming, Psycho, and John Williams

By, Dan Perttu

Please join me as I welcome Lawrence Golan, Music Director of the Yakima and York Symphonies, back on my new spinoff episode from my Muse in Music Podcast! These spinoff episodes are on strategic orchestra programming. Lawrence shares his insights, focusing on creating thematic concerts and seasons that resonate with both universal and community-specific audiences. We discuss the importance of balance in programming, and how he is able to pull off pairing music from Bernard Herrmann's score for Psycho with scores by John Williams and Haydn.
