Day 3 of Symphony Week 2016 featured Resident Conductor Morihiko Nakahara, Manager of Corporate Partnerships LaTisha Conto, and avid symphony season ticket holder Stephanie Heller.  Morihiko discussed the concerts he will be conducting this season, including Classics 6 with cellist Josh Roman, one of the Intersect series concerts, and the Harry Potter special.  LaTisha gave us a sneak peek into what the Harry Potter event will be like, including sorting audience members into houses, fun perks, and interactive elements throughout the concert.  Stephanie talked about her love of the Spokane Symphony and how being a season ticket holder has positively enhanced her life.

Symphony Week 2016 is a week-long series of feature interviews with various staff, musicians, and listeners of the Spokane Symphony leading up to their season opener, which happens this weekend, September 17-18 at the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox.
