Executive Director Jo May Salonen sat down with The Trail's Robert Chase to discuss the upcoming symphony season. This season will feature five masterworks series to help determine the next conductor of the Missoula Symphony.

It's Steven Smith's turn. Smith has served as music director of Virginia’s Richmond Symphony, the Santa Fe Symphony & Chorus, as well as the Grammy Award-winning Cleveland Chamber Symphony (CCS), an ensemble devoted to the performance of contemporary music. Catch him November 2-3 at the Missoula Symphony.
