This week's episode features an off the podium chat with conductor and composer Matthias Pintscher. Stephanie, Gonzalo and return-guest John Klinghammer grill he maestro on this weekend's program, featuring works by Ravel, Scriabin and LIGETI. Matthias describes the French-inspired program as a lush, colorful garden that we can't wait to hear in Helzberg Hall! He also discusses his time studying with legendary composer Pierre Boulez, and of course has a question for Beethoven while drinking a dirty filthy martini. All this and more, this week on Beethoven Walks into a Bar.
