IRIS Orchestra Announces New Season

Although there is one concert remaining in the current season, featuring the legendary Andre Watts joining them for the Beethoven 'Emperor' Concerto, the IRIS Orchestra announced it's 2012-2013 season this week.  It puts a renewed emphasis on the musicians of the orchestra itself, while also featuring a slate of incredible guest artists.  Michael Stern is the founding Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of IRIS, and spoke with WKNO's Darel Snodgrass about the upcoming 13th season.

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
