Romanian-born Conductor Cristian Macelaru and conductor-designate of the Cincinnati Symphony is on the podium this Friday, August 16 to conduct the music of Sarah Kirkland Snyder, Christopher Theofanidis and Beethoven. Here is his interview with Aspen Public Radio's Chris Mohr.

Classical music reporter Chris Mohr has loved classical music since he was twelve. “And I owe it all to radio,” Chris explains. “I grew up in a farm town east of Cleveland. One day I turned on the local classical radio station. They were playing Vivaldi, and it was like the gates of heaven opened up to me!" Chris is also a composer, and is working on a 53-note-to-the-octave oratorio, "Melodies of the Shoreless Sea." This is his ninth summer working for Aspen Public Radio.
