PSO Tour Report - Morning - August 31, 2026

WQED-FM's Jim Cunningham reports from Warsaw, Poland. He spoke with Principal Tuba Craig Knox. Craig talks about how nice it is to perform in a new city (the PSO has not been to Poland since 1989); the audience reaction to their performance and how he was able to see his teacher at the concert. Jim also spoke with Music Director Manfred Honeck who was pleased with how the orchestra has performed the first few concerts of the tour. He also talked about how he came up with the program for the Poland concert and the relevance of playing the Shostakovich Symphony No. 5 in Warsaw. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
