E10- Cosette Justo Valdés: Our Main Job is to Dream
Cuban born and trained Cosette Justo Valdés is the conductor of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and the Artistic Director of the Vancouver Island Symphony. With guest host Xenia Reloba de la Cruz (University of Calgary), we talk about classical music education in Cuba, and what a Cuban conductor brings to this genre. “We make music in ways that express how we live life. It’s always important to find the flavour in things.”
