The Norwalk Symphony Orchestra opens its new season with a concert titled Dancing Around the World, that features Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, and dance-inspired music by Alberto Ginastera, Chen Yi, and Daniel Bernard Roumain's Hip Hop Essay for Orchestra. Kate Remington talks with the NSO's music director and conductor Jonathan Yates about this concert, and what's ahead in the coming months for the orchestra.

Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Kate Remington joined WSHU in December of 2000, and she's been WSHU's Music Director since 2002.
