Now I had a great time over the weekend interviewing the wonderful conductor and my good friend

Ryan Bancroft about all things conducting. We started by talking about programming, post-pandemic, and all of the difficulties of that process, what to play, how to play, when to play, where to play, etc. We talked about that for the first 15 minutes or so and then

transitioned to honestly a pretty personal conversation about our shared entry into the conducting

world. Both Ryan and I won the Malko competition for

conductors when we were both fairly inexperienced, in my case completely

inexperienced, and that really has shaped our entire careers in both positive and frankly difficult ways. We finished off by talking

about the amazing Negro Folk Symphony of William Levi Dawson, which I jokingly said at the end I would

get to in about a month after I finish

mollers six but we'll be coming to the show sooner than that. Thanks again for

listening and stay tuned for part two of mollers sixth symphony this

Thursday on to Ryan Bancroft.

So I want to give a big welcome to the new principal conductor

of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales

and the soon-to-be artist in association with the Tapi Yola
