Season 4, Episode 9

Host Alison Lebovitz sits down with Chattanooga Symphony and Opera conductor, Kayoko Dan.  In 2011, Kayoko became the CSO's 8th Music Director.  She is notably the youngest person to ever fill that role--as well as the first woman.  Her warmth, thoughtfulness and energy have made her a welcome new ambassador for the arts in Chattanooga.  In this interview, we'll learn how Kayoko's love for music helped her transition between two languages and two cultures when she moved from Japan to the United States as a child--and how her passion for teaching set her on the path to becoming the newest face of the CSO.
