#24 - Interview w/ American Flutist Emily Skala

In the 23rd episode of "Dress Rehearsal", my guest will be Emily Skala, former Principal Flutist of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Emily is a very accomplished player and educator having been with the BSO for over 30 years and having also taught at Peabody Conservatory for 28 years. Recently, Emily was "dismissed" from the BSO for having posted on her Facebook page, challenging opinions regarding the pandemic and the Covid-19 virus. During the hour Emily reveals another side of the story, in which the Facebook postings seem to take a secondary role in the situation. We will also have a chance to listen to a great interpretation of Joaquín Rodrigo's "Fantasia para un gentilhombre" performed by our guest, Emily Skala, with conductor Juanjo Mena. Don't miss it!
