Neeme Jarvi (www.neemejarvi.com)Maestros with a Message
The New Jersey Symphony has long been overshadowed by New York City and its cultural assets but these days it can’t avoid of the public spotlight. Last year, the orchestra acquired some 30 rare string instruments which later became the source of a major financial scandal. It also hired a new music director in the Estonian-born Neeme Jarvi. Today, Jarvi joins us along with NJSO president and CEO Simon Woods to shed some light on the orchestra’s recent troubles, its future plans, and current activities, which include a three-week festival devoted to Scandinavian music. Also on the show is Hollywood Bowl Music Director John Mauceri. He’s been a major advocate for film score composers, as he’ll demonstrate in an upcoming appearance with the Brooklyn Philharmonic that will features music by Bernard Hermann (“Psycho”) Gershwin (“Shall We Dance”) and others. He tells us why “movie music” needn’t be a pejorative term.
