Two conductors in the listening area of GPB Columbus station WJSP have their say on Midday Music. First, Columbus Symphony Orchestra music director George Del Gobbo tells us about the up-and-coming violinist who performs Brahms with them Saturday - Michi Wiancko. (Ticket info here or here.)
Then, Auburn Community (/University) Orchestra conductor Howard Goldstein explains who all plays in that group. We hear them play a snippet of Respighi, and Goldstein introduces the Finzi concerto that new Auburn University clarinet faculty David Odom performs with them Sunday at 3:00. (The concert, at AU's Jule Collins Smith Museum, is free, but tickets must be reserved: 334-887-2832.)
