We offer a rundown of the ongoing WGTE Presents: TSO in HD program on WGTE-TV, and revisit some conversations from the past — including clips from TSO tubist David Saltzman and composers Samuel Adler (pictured) and Jennifer Higdon. All three are featured in an upcoming episode of TSO in HD, along with works by Christopher Dietz and Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Panelists Zak Vassar and Merwin Siu join us by phone to give the backstory on these selections, and the thematic thread that binds them together.
