Podcast: Meet the Music Director

"I want to make sure that I am able to continue Maestro Mehli Mehta’s dream, his enthusiasm and belief in the music, that classical music is something that needs to be carried forward into the future. I also want to broaden the spectrum of repertoire that the orchestra is exposed to. I want to promote a sense of global citizenship for AYS musicians so that they can be exposed to and influenced by different cultures, as well as be conscious of and play a role in their communities. Above all, I want to inspire a sense of community in the musicians of AYS..." - Maestro Carlos Izcaray
