A collection of discussions between special guests and Music Director and midday host, Julia Figueras.

On Record with Carlos Kalmar

Nancy Horowitz

This week Carlos Kalmar, Music Director of the Oregon Symphony, makes his debut with your Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Maestro Kalmar stopped by our studios to chat with WXXI Music Director Julia Figueras about getting to know a new orchestra, growing with his current orchestra, and why Haydn symhonies are the true test of talent for all orchestras.

A Strong Memorial baby and Greece Arcadia grad, Julia Figueras was the Music Director and mid-day host for WXXI Classical until June 30, 2023 when she retired after more than 26 years of service. She also hosted the award-winning monthly interview/performance show, Backstage Pass.
