Speaking of the Arts

On this week's show host Diana Moxon lingers in the world of classical music with pianist and Odyssey Chamber Music Series founder Ayako Tsuruta; Maestro Scott Yoo - violinist, Mexico City Philharmonic conductor and artistic director, and host of the PBS series 'Now Hear This'; and conductor Maestro Dr. Stephen Rogers Radcliffe, music director for the Missouri Symphony Conservatory and Director of Orchestral Activities for the University of Missouri. Ever wondered why classical music often feels less accessible than pop and rock? Why is Brahms being programmed so much right now? Why do orchestras need conductors? What are the rules between a composer and a conductor? It's all in the show. Opening and closing music credit thanks to guitarist Yasmin Williams (www.yasminwilliamsmusic.com).

What is Speaking of the Arts?

Speaking of the Arts is mid-Missouri's only weekly arts show. The show is hosted by Diana Moxon, who chats with actors, directors, authors, musicians, festival directors, event organizers, arts curators, and artists about the events they are involved in and also about their own works and their influences. Whilst the show focuses mainly on the mid-Missouri arts scene, Diana's guests have included international composers, conductors, authors as well as artists, musicians, and performers from around Missouri.
