I interviewed conductor JoAnn Falletta recently and wrote a long profile of her and her career for SFCV. Our discussion was delightful and ran close to 90 minutes. 

She's had a distinguished career with many highlights: music director of the Virginia Symphony, Ulster Philharmonic, Women's Philharmonic (which did so much important work), Long Beach Symphony, and of course the Buffalo Philharmonic. She's made a huge number of recordings, many of unusual repertory.

Falletta was recently awarded the 2023 Eroica Award for Outstanding Service in Music, by MOLA: An Association of Music Performance Librarians. You can read the full details here and also see Falletta's acceptance on YouTube.

AND, lastly, WBFO, an NPR affiliate, recently interviewed Falletta for their Mindful Music show. Give it a listen, and hear what this thoughtful and generous musician has to say.
