For this episode, Brian McWhorter talks with Dr. Susan Pickett - musicologist and professor emerita from Whitman College - to discuss composer Louise Farrenc (1804-1875). The upcoming Eugene Ballet/Orchestra Next production of Taming of the Shrew features Farrenc's music throughout, including all three of her symphonies as well as the Nonet. More information about the show can be found at eugeneballet.org
