Episode 39: Nick Palmer on Conducting, Creativity, and Bringing New Music to Life

In this episode, I talk with Nick Palmer, Music Director of the Altoona Symphony and North Charleston POPS!, and conductor of the Evenings Under the Stars Music Festival, about the passion that drives his work as a conductor. We discuss the unique excitement of live performance, the importance of connecting with audiences, and his perspective on building relationships between composers, performers, and listeners.  Nick also shares insights from his background as a composition major, reflects on collaborations with composers, and discusses how organizations can champion new music through initiatives such as composer-in-residence programs and social media outreach.
