For members of Boston’s Longwood Symphony, harnessing the healing power of music isn’t just an idealistic concept, it’s a way of life. In anticipation of her “Harmonic Treatment” session at the League Conference, Longwood violinist and executive director Lisa Wong talks about her new book with Robert Viagas, Scales to Scalpels, the LSO’s mission, and the inspiration she draws from El Sistema.
Also this week, we spotlight Philadelphia’s iConduct Festival, spearheaded by Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra music director Jeri Lynne Johnson, and 900 listeners around the country find classical music easy to listen to—perhaps too easy?
SymphonyNOW is the League’s new, online-only publication, with timely stories about orchestras every week. You’ll find SymphonyNOW on the right-hand side of the Hub homepage.
