SymphonyCast - May 15, 2023

This week on SymphonyCast with host Steve Seel, Cristina Gomez Godoy presents Richard Strauss’ Oboe Concerto in a performance that is bound to knock your socks off in the first hour. Then in the second hour, Robert Schumann’s elegant and dynamic 

y races along with headstrong confidence as it gambols eagerly toward a world of warmth and light. The arrangement includes touches of wistful melancholy along the way but sends you out energized with the broadest of smiles. 

Steve Seel is the host of YourClassical’s weekly SymphonyCast and the trailblazing music show Extra Eclectic. He possesses a broad knowledge of many musical genres, having hosted radio programs ranging from classical to jazz and even avant-garde music at radio stations around the country. Steve began his love affair with public radio at 24 working whatever shifts he could at his hometown station of WUSF-FM in Tampa, Florida, and from there worked his way to snowy Buffalo, New York, and its renowned classical station WNED-FM, where he hosted middays and the weekly experimental-music show Present Tense.  In 2005, Steve became one of the founding voices on Minnesota Public Radio's eclectic station, the Current. While there, he hosted afternoons and mornings, and conducted in-depth interviews with pop music luminaries ranging from Brian Eno to David Byrne to Tori Amos. Steve is a basement composer obsessed with all things both minimalist and slow, and might actually be incapable of writing anything that exceeds 75 beats-per-minute.
