Show Notes
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has tapped Finnish conductor Klaus Makela to be its next music director.
Makela, who is just 28, will officially take up the baton in September 20-27.
But he’s here this weekend for a series of concerts… and WBEZ’s art and culture reporter Courtney Kueppers caught up with the young maestro before the shows.
