Conductors, Composers and Performers: Their Interactions, Past & Present

This humorous and informative talk will focus on the daily lives of extraordinary musicians from the deep past through the present time, who worked together smoothly or with contention to deliver the finished product to eager music-loving audiences. It is a behind-the-scenes look at strong views and opinions between collaborators, plus unusual circumstances which either were most welcome or decidedly not so.
