Ep. 56: Zvonimir Hačko

In this episode, we'll be hearing from Zvonimir Hačko, conductor and Artistic Director of the newly initiated International Centre for Contemporary Music (ICCM). We'll learn more about the ICCM and what the future and development of contemporary music might look like over the next few years. One of the ICCM's inaugural projects is recording the complete symphonies of Penderecki, and we'll hear more about this recording process. We also discuss audience responses and perceptions towards contemporary music, particularly in light of the recording of Penderecki's symphonies Zvonimir is directing and conducting with the Philharmonia Orchestra.
