For our Memorial Day special we welcome Jacob Joyce, Associate Conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony and guest conductor for the TSO's Patriotic Pops concert. Jacob gives some backstory to his career as a violinist and conductor, plus we take a dive into the patriotic-themed repertoire on the concert (including our unofficial analysis of "The Star-Spangled Banner" vs. "O Canada"). As an added bonus, test your patriotic chops in our "Patriotic Pops" quiz about America's Founding Fathers (patriotic "pops"... get it?).
