The Orchestra of St. Luke's spent four years searching for a new Principal Conductor. They wanted *just* the right chemistry between their ensemble and a leader, and they found it in 35 year-old Spanish conductor Pablo Heras-Casado . PT host Fred Child joins him at the New York home of the Orchestra of St. Luke's today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday) for conversation about that mysterious chemistry between an orchestra and a conductor, and for music. In a PT exclusive performance, they'll play the Symphony No. 4, by Robert Schumann, on Thursday's Performance Today.
