We'll extend our usual First Friday Arts segment into a special focus on theRogue Valley Symphony.
The Symphony's season starts this weekend (October 3) with concerts in Ashland, Medford, and Grants Pass.
And behind the scenes, working to bring classical music to broader audiences, is new Executive Director Jane Kenworthy.
We talk music and symphony management.
