David Zinman's Life in Music

Selfie by Brenda Tremblay

Legendary conductor David Zinman came to Rochester, and  I was thrilled to sit down with him for an interview. What happened when he arrived in Rochester in the 1970's? Why did he choose the baton over the violin? What did Pierre Monteux pull out of a mysterious drawer in London? Listen in.
