Conductor Lawrence Golan is the first guest in the new spinoff episodes on strategic orchestra programming in composer Daniel Perttu’s “Muse in Music” Podcast. In a conversation that centers on the issues of creating and curating “thematic concerts and seasons that resonate with both universal and community-specific audiences” Maestro Golan shares his insights with specific examples from his work with York and Yakima Symphonies. Focusing particularly on the importance of balance in programming, strategic planning, and audiences, date/event programming and more, Golan discusses curating innovative programming, including pairing music from Bernard Herrmann's score for Psycho with scores by John Williams and Haydn.
