About this listen

In today’s episode, you’ll meet the DSO’s Assistant Conductor, Shira Samuels-Shragg, who, at the time of recording this interview, had just finished her first season with us.

A big part of Shira’s job is acting as a cover conductor, a kind of understudy who can step in should anything happen to the scheduled conductor.

Shira shares what she’s learned in her first season with the DSO and what she’s looking forward to doing next, as well as her hopes and dreams of becoming Music Director of a big orchestra someday.

You’ll want to listen all way through to hear about when she got “THE call” and stepped in for Maestro Luisi back in November.

We hope you enjoy getting to know Shira!
