Binghamton University Symphony Orchestra Music Director and Conductor Timothy Perry joins us to talk about 'Symphonic Smorgasbord II: A Feast for the Ears'. Dr. Perry has essentially created a 'new' symphony by selecting the first movement of Cesar Franck's Symphony in d minor, the second movement of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.5 in e minor, the "Hunt" Scherzo from Anton Bruckner's Symphony No.4, "Romantic", and the fourth movement of Johannes Brahms' Symphony No.4 in e minor. He talks about the challenges to the students of playing in very different styles of symphonies all written at about the same time.
