SILVER: Madison Symphony Orchestra | Navigating the rocky waters between the sophisticated, educated listener and the average symphony-goer is a familiar job for John DeMain. Going into his 20th season as music director of the Madison Symphony Orchestra, DeMain always strives to find a balance between the “war-horses” pieces and “the curiosities.” “I try to come up with an overview when I build a season,” DeMain says. “We’ll have a couple pieces that I think will push the audience. But I also make sure there is a good dose of your favorites symphonies.” Listen to the full audio interview, and hear excerpts of DeMain’s favorites from the 2011-2012 season online.
