6-1-24 Face The Music Listings!

By Jonathan Palevsky | Posted in Face the Music, Host Blogs | Comments Off on 6-1-24 Face The Music Listings!

This week our panel was John Bowen and Jed Gaylan from the Hopkins and Bay Atlantic Orchestras.  We really liked the Prokofiev, hated the Bizet and felt that Mr. Flores should stick to Offenbach, which he is brilliant at and leave the Werther alone!  We were intrigued by the Francaix…which I want to hear all of and plan to program soon!

 

Here are the listings…Hope you enjoyed the show!
