Raymond Harvey on the Symphony No. 2 by Jean Sibelius

Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra music director Raymond Harvey recently offered thoughts on two major works that the KSO will perform on its February 28th Symphonic Series program

At the piano in WMUK's Takeda studio, the maestro details each composer's unique 'bag of tricks' that facilitate the expression of their respective musical visions. 

Friday's program will also feature the Concerto for the Left Hand by Maurice Ravel, performed by renowned American pianist and pedagogue Leon Fleisher.

Cara Lieurance is the local host of NPR's All Things Considered on 1021 WMUK and covers local arts & culture on Let's Hear It on 89.9 Classical WMUK weekday mornings at 10 - 11 am.
