Toledo SymphonyLAB™
WGTE Public Media
Touchstone Award Winner - Best Single Radio Report 2022, Best Radio Show 2020, Best Radio Show 2019, Best Broadcast Radio 2018 Toledo SymphonyLAB™ is an award-winning radio podcast series from WGTE Public Media in collaboration with the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, providing a weekly half-hour behind-the-scenes look at the world of classical music. Every week, host Brad Cresswell and TSO personalities explore a theme inspired by a concert or other event from the symphony's season. With lively discussion, quizzes, and even audio "re-enactments" of historical events, Toledo SymphonyLAB™ seeks to bring a pop culture aesthetic to the storied world of classical music. In addition to our regular panelists, the program often features special appearances by guest soloists, members of the TSO, and TSO Music Director Alain Trudel.

Listen to the last episode:
We jump into the New Year with an all-American program, featuring Adolphus Hailstork's Three Spirituals for Orchestra and Samuel Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915 (featuring soprano Janinah Burnett). Finishing off the program is Antonin Dvořák's "New World" Symphony, which was written while Dvořák was living and working in the United States. Multiple Grammy winner and guest conductor JoAnn Falletta (pictured) joins us for a lively discussion of these works, her personal friendship with "Dolph" Hailstork, and her remarkable career and musical journey. Oh, and there's even a classical guitar quiz (before she was a world famous conductor, JoAnn Falletta was a guitarist). Photo: Cheryl Gorski
