WXXI
|
San Diego Symphony Music Director Jahja Ling has conducted the Cleveland Orchestra every year for the last 25 years--the longest streak of any living conductor. And there's a reason--he brings fire and originality to the great classics while fluidly embracing music of our time. He is also the found of 2 of America's finest youth orchestras--one in Cleveland and one in San Francisco. He came to town to guest conduct with your Rochester Philharmonic, and came by our studios to talk to Julia figueras about the importance of music education, finding that special new moment in old familiar works, and why he loves the Sibelius Symphony No. 2 so very much.
