Interview with JoAnn Falletta

JoAnn Falletta will be conducting the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra the weekend of April 26th. Among other works on the program, she’ll conduct what she told NPR was her favorite symphony, Samuel Barber’s Symphony No. 1, Op. 9. She sat down recently with Classical Music Indy’s Michael Toulouse to talk about why Barber’s first symphony stands out so much to her. Cover Photo by David Adam Beloff.
