In this episode, Tal talks with Bree Fotheringham, an American violinist and passionate advocate for bringing classical music to new audiences.
First, we get to know Bree and hear her story, including her involvement as Founder and Artistic Director of the Salt Lake Chamber Orchestra (SLCO), an ensemble dedicated to bringing exceptional classical music to Utah through fresh and engaging performance experiences designed for a 21st-century audience.
The SLCO’s most recent concert was themed “Landscape,” and Bree explains why. From there, Tal and Bree explore the fascinating intersection of landscape and classical music and the ways that place, nature, and our surroundings can shape music and the experience of listening to it.
At the end, Bree takes us to Los Angeles as she describes her dream meal and what would make it the perfect dining experience.
Bree considers community engagement to be the most meaningful part of her career and envisions a world where classical music concerts are inviting, invigorating, and relevant experiences shared by all members of the community.
