Please join me as I interview conductor Andrew Crust, Music Director of the Lima Symphony Orchestra (Ohio). We discuss what inspires him in his work and cover how he programs new music along with the classics. As we talk, the concept of keeping programming "relevant" for audiences arises, and Andrew goes into depth about the meaning of "relevance."

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.

In this episode of my Muse in Music video blog, I talk with Keitaro Harada, the Music and Artistic Director of the Savannah Philharmonic and the Associate Conductor of the Tokyo Symphony, about his multicultural background that includes both America and Japan and how he incorporates new music from both American and Japanese composers into his programming in the various cities in which he works on both sides of the Pacific.
