About
What does it take to create amazing programs for the Cape's major cultural institutions?
Learn about the challenges and joys of producing at the Cape Symphony, the Cape Playhouse, and Cape Cod Museum of Art. Ask questions of The Cape Symphony's Artistic Director Jung-Ho Pak, The Cape Playhouse's Artistic Director Michael Rader, and Amanda Wastrom, Assistant Curator at Heritage Museums and Gardens. The discussion is moderated by Mindy Todd, WCAI managing director and host of The Point. This is an ARTWeek MA event.
Jung Ho Pak was described by the New York Times as a conductor who “radiates enthusiasm” and the Los Angeles Times as “a real grabber,” He has led orchestras throughout our country and around the world, presenting a unique way to fall in love with the symphonic experience. Celebrating ten years with the Cape Symphony, Jung-Ho admits that one of his most “audacious” goals is to reach every single person on Cape Cod with the gift of beautiful music. He has been committed to our education programs (Music Works! Everyday, Music Memory, and the Cape Youth Orchestra among others) since joining in 2007. For the Masterpiece Series, Jung-Ho presents the great classical works in unexpected and dramatic ways, and brings his sense of fun to the Pops Series concerts.
