The Binghamton Philharmonic opens its season on Saturday, September 30 with a concert of music by Aaron Copland, Edward Elgar and Ludwig van Beethoven in the Broome County Forum on Washington Street in downtown Binghamton. Music Director Daniel Hege joins us to talk about the program, and about cellist Annie Jacobs-Perkins, who is soloist in the Cello Concerto by Elgar. It was a failure at its premiere and we find out how it finally became one of the most beloved cello concertos thirty years after Elgar's death.
