Spinoff Episode 2 [Strategic Orchestra Programming]: Francesco Lecce-Chong on Planning Programs with Complementary Pieces that Inspire Communities

Please join me as I talk with Francesco Lecce-Chong, the Music Director of the Santa Rosa Symphony on my spinoff series on strategic orchestra programming. Francesco was previously a guest on the "Muse in Music" when it was a blog, and I'm thrilled that he has returned to talk about how he balances programming standard repertoire with new and under-heard compositions. In his programming, he strives to select pieces so that they complement each other in a concert. We also discuss how he considers post-concert surveys and audience reactions to his programming. Please join us for this behind-the-scenes conversation about how a conductor builds programs for orchestra patrons!
