SUGGESTED HOST INTRO

Perspective – that magical line between the head and the heart.  It’s something conductor Robert Spano tries to maintain whenever he conducts his favorite pieces of music.


CLIP TRANSCRIPT

“There are times, I think for any performer, certainly for me where you’re about to lose it because it’s so beautiful.  And then you realize nuh uh uh uh (laughs) there’s work to be done here.  I think it’s spending enough time with a piece of music to get to the point where you feel like you know what it’s supposed to be, from what inspired the composer.”


SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO

Conductor Robert Spano keeps the proper distance from the music he enjoys and the music that touches him deeply inside.  As a result, you hear performances like this. (Insert music title, composer and performers).
