Guest Conductor:  Kurt Anderson

Kurt Anderson shares his love for his father’s music through conducting appearances with orchestras of all sizes, from community orchestras to the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra.

He has said “There are many composers who have written serious music, and some of them have done it quite well, but there are very few who have written music that makes you smile and I am proud to say that my father did that quite well.”  Kurt will conduct “Fiddle Faddle” and “The Waltzing Cat” and will perform as soloist in “The Typewriter”.
