Finns and Family

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
We're pleased to have a visit from composer and conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Esa Pekka Salonen. This young Finnish renaissance man has always been outspoken about the importance of music in our lives, and the importance of choosing good music. And Alvin Brehm--composer, conductor, double bass player and long time associate of composer Jacob Druckman--visits to discuss the import and impact of Druckman's work in light of an upcoming anniversary celebration for Druckman.
