PSO Hosts Discussion with Rossen Milanov and Carnegie Hall's Adriaan Fuchs
On Wednesday, January 24 at 7 pm, in partnership with the Princeton Public Library, Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) presents a discussion on what goes into the artistic programming of a season of music. The PSO's Rossen Milanov and Carnegie Hall's Adriaan Fuchs will talk about what factors impact decisions to select particular works and soloists to capture musicians' interest and keep audiences enthralled. The talk, which includes an audience Q&A, takes place in the Princeton Public Library's 2nd Floor Newsroom, and will be moderated by PSO Executive Director Marc Uys.
Rossen Milanov was appointed music director of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra in 2009. He is an internationally renowned conductor with an impressive pedigree, coming to the PSO from The Philadelphia Orchestra. He also leads the Columbus and Chautauqua Symphony Orchestras, and Orquestra Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias in Spain.
Adriaan Fuchs joined the artistic planning office of Carnegie Hall following several years as director of artistic planning and touring for The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Previous to that he worked successively with the Stellenbosch International Chamber Music Festival and Cape Town Opera. He regularly presents radio programs on legendary performers from the world of classical music and Broadway broadcast on Fine Music Radio.
This edition of Soundtracks connects to all the behind-the-scenes decisions taking place at the Princeton Symphony Orchestra as plans are made for the announcement of its 2018-2019 season this March.
Soundtracks is free and open to the public.
