"The orchestra began Chopin’s work under the firmness of Golan, a highly experienced baton, who impressed a constant unity on the ensemble throughout the performance. The evening continued with Tchaikovsky’s “Serenade”, which the ensemble performed with dynamic variances that were always wisely crafted...guided by the sensitive directorial intuition of Lawrence Golan. At the end of the evening, the sold-out audience bestowed repeated and meritorious approval on the very capable musicians."

Conductor Lawrence Golan is the first guest in the new spinoff episodes on strategic orchestra programming in composer Daniel Perttu’s “Muse in Music” Podcast. In a conversation that centers on the issues of creating and curating “thematic concerts and seasons that resonate with both universal and community-specific audiences” Maestro Golan shares his insights with specific examples from his work with York and Yakima Symphonies. Focusing particularly on the importance of balance in programming, strategic planning, and audiences, date/event programming and more, Golan discusses curating innovative programming, including pairing music from Bernard Herrmann's score for Psycho with scores by John Williams and Haydn.
