InterMISSION: Little Giant

Today, we have our next episode of the new InterMISSION podcast from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.  Up to this point, it's been very well-done with fairly interesting stories and wonderful music in the background.

This new episode features Jennifer Gunn, who has been a Chicago Symphony Orchestra member since 2005, performing on the flute and piccolo. As the site notes, "She shares the dramatic story of how she won the audition for her position and pays tribute to Walfrid Kujala, her famous predecessor. She also gives advice to aspiring performers; explains how she prepares her parts in advance of rehearsals; and talks about why she loves the live CSO concert experience."

And there's another reason I really enjoy these InterMISSION podcasts from the CSO.  It's because along with the episodes themselves, they also post a chart with links to all the music -- in full -- that was heard, even if only played for just a few seconds as snippets.
