Artistic Director and Conductor for the Cape Symphony Jung-Ho Pak has worked with world class artists like Yo-Yo Ma and James Taylor, and has conducted orchestras around the world.
He thinks that every person deserves a chance at experiencing beauty and joy. He thinks that a symphony can be as loved as a pennant winning baseball team, as customer oriented as a first class hotel, as fun as a giant amusement park, and as entrepreneurial as a high tech, start-up company. And he thinks that audiences want one thing: to experience something unforgettable.
Have you ever wondered what a Maestro listens to to prepare for upcoming performances? Jung-Ho Pak has shared one of his picks for his upcoming performances!
Maestro Pick: Maria Callas singing Oh Mio Babbino Caro by Giacomo Puccini
Maria Callas is an icon of what it meant to be a “diva”. Her persona was captured theatrically in the hit play, Masterclass. Her extreme style of acting made each performance definitive. That drama was only matched by her personal life, especially with her affair with the Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. She may not have had the most beautiful voice, but it certainly is among the most human and compelling.
