This week’s Classical Californian is conductor Nicholas McGegan, Music Director Laureate of Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale, who bookends his selections with a pair of works by English composers Benjamin Britten and Sir Edward Elgar. In between are piano trios by Schubert and Haydn, and operatic arias by Mozart and Vivaldi. Along the way we’ll hear him tell about a memorable rehearsal playing flute in a student orchestra as
Britten himself conducted, and page-turning for the accompanist during a recital of one his favorite sopranos. Tune in Wednesday Night at 7pm!
