A huge cast of characters take the stage with your Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra this week: a famous trickster, a collection of critters, and a tragic puppet...or three. RPO Music Director Andreas Delfs and sisters Christine and Michelle Naughton joined Julia Figueras to chat about Strauss' Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals, and Stravinsky's Petrouchka...with some stories of their own, too.

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.
