We introduce a special segment titled, "Questions from my classmates" where each of my 2016 classmates who were with me in State College this weekend asked Mark a question. You'll also hear from special guest and former Tenuto interviewee, Evan Harger.

Randall Standridge joins the Tenuto Podcast to talk about things to consider when programming a concert, the composition process, and so much more.

It is a MUST LISTEN for all music educators looking to program a concert in 2022.
