Heartland Festival Orchestra

We talk with David Commanday, Artistic Director of the Heartland Festival Orchestra about their upcoming concert, "New Year's Greeting." The concert features Strauss waltzes, along with music from Broadway and Hollywood. Commanday talks about the evolution of the orchestra's annual new year's concert, about the soloists Joan Hess and Kirby Ward, and about the non-profit the orchestra is featuring in this concert. The Heartland Festival Orchestra presents "New Year's Greeting" Saturday night at 7:30 at Five Points Washington.
