This week's guest is James Lowe, music director of the Spokane Symphony.

James previews this weekend's Masterworks #9 concert featuring cellist Zuill Bailey, which also happens to be the finale for the SSO's 79th season.

He also talks about some of the overarching themes and anticipated highlights for the symphony's recently announced 80th season in 2025–'26.

Along the way we chat about the unusual casualties of Star Wars, the frequently heralded death of classical music and the joys of singing ABBA songs in the shower.

A huge thanks to our founding sponsor Rogue Heart Media SPC for making these early episodes possible.
