Mozart's Attic - Thursday, April 25th 10:00 pm

Marco Borggreve/Boston Symphony Orchestra
Andris Nelsons

With the state of the recording industry these days, you may well not have had the opportunity to hear some of the conductors who are now leading our major orchestras. We'll feature two of them on this week's program.

Andris Nelsons, now in his fifth season at the Boston Symphony conducts Shostakovich, and Jaap van Zweden -- brand new at the New York Philharmonic -- conducts Stravinsky.

Both orchestras are in good hands. Listen this Thursday night and see what you think.

Originally from central Massachusetts, Jay has called the Space Coast home for more than 30 years. He began his association with WFIT in the late '90s as a dumpster diver for office furniture in response to a broadcast plea for a new chair from a frustrated disc jockey. (WFIT has come a long way since.)
