Discovery Orchestra Chat 78 – Every Time I Feel The Spirit
The Newark Boys Chorus joins Maestro Maull in this Chat!
I just listened to the first episode of this (Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony) and can’t believe how fortunate I was to run across this on Prime. I have heard Maull lecture many times before performances and now here he is right on my computer screen and with the clearest of visual aids.

Highly recommended.
