Akiko and I are back for the 2022-2023 season! In this first episode we share with you a fun new format: awards in all kinds of different categories. Next week we’ll focus on the season-opening tour prep weeks at the LA Phil, but for today we’re handing out some All-Time awards.

Discover which composers we’d love to have dinner with, which excerpts terrify us in auditions, and which conductor gestures stand the test of time.
