Conductor Leonard Slatkin Takes Over the Nashville Symphony

The Nashville Symphony Orchestra has named Leonard Slatkin its new music director. The celebrated maestro has a long history with the NSO. He was the NSO’s music advisor in the early 2000s and was on the podium when the orchestra opened its acoustically marvelous Schermerhorn Symphony Center in 2006. The orchestra also won the first three of its many Grammy Awards under Slatkin’s direction. In this episode of MACC Talk, Slatkin joins host John Pitcher to talk about his love for Nashville and his plans for the orchestra. The episode is sponsored by the Noah Liff Opera Center.
