Fresno Philharmonic Interviews: Rei Hotoda on Heaven & Earth

Rei Hotoda - Fresno Philharmonic
Rei Hotoda

This week we talk with Fresno Philharmonic conductor Rei Hotoda for insights into Sunday April 15th's concert Heaven & Earth. The performance features music celebrating spirit and nature by Debussy, Poulenc, Jennifer Higdon and Tan Dun. It's the final Masterworks Concert of the season, and Hotoda says listeners should come with their cellphones, ready to participate in this week's performance.
