Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tuesday Musical Club - Birthday Boys!
Q: Tell me how this super fun concert idea came about.
The idea grew from Nanette Kaplan-Solomon's tradition of giving the club inventive, catchy concert titles. When Vanessa took over her role as chair, she carried that momentum forward by focusing on composers with March birthdays, creating a coherent, chronological program.
Beauty and the Beast Returns to Pittsburgh
Q: What does a conductor do for a stage show?
A conductor acts as a coach for both the orchestra and the actors, serving as the glue between the stage and pit, checking in on performers, promoting health and well-being, and weaving the musical and theatrical elements into a cohesive performance.
Beauty and the Beast Returns to Pittsburgh
Q: What does it mean to bring Disney's Beauty and the Beast back home to Pittsburgh?
It means sharing a timeless story with the local audience, rekindling memories for longtime fans, and highlighting how the show's music and themes resonate with the Pittsburgh community.
Charlie Peck
Q: How do you compose and integrate the video elements into your music?
Charlie explains that his composing process involves feedback and collaboration with players, which led to the incorporation of visual elements, allowing for ideas that wouldn't be possible in live performances.
Charlie Peck
Q: Charlie, what is your journey into composition?
Charlie describes his journey as starting from a classical background and being influenced by his siblings who were also musicians. He shifted toward composition after discovering the electric bass in high school, which allowed him to create music with friends.
