Choral History: A Podcast With Josh Bronfman

This episode Josh talks to Bruce Browne, emeritus professor from Portland State University, as well as former conductor of Choral Cross-Ties and the Portland Symphonic Choir. Bruce’s influence in the American choral scene is extensive, and Josh had the good fortune of studying with Bruce early in his career. Listen as Bruce spins yarns about his experiences with some of the great choral conductors of our time, including Robert Shaw and Eric Ericson, and talks unassumingly about his journey to becoming one of the most widely respected choral conductors in the US. This interview is the second in a series of interviews done in Josh’s hometown of Portland, Oregon.
