We're speaking with Edie Polson, who is guest conducting the Gorge Sinfonietta in Haydn's Surprise Symphony. Edie won the chance to direct at last year's fund-raising auction. Also on the March 18/20 program is pianist Tom Grant, making his orchestra debut, and the Schubert Unfinished Symphony. The concerts are in the Gorge Room at the Best Western Hood River Inn.
