In the final pre-concert talk this spring with Santa Rosa Symphony Music Director Francesco Lecce-Chong, Ellen talks about writing the work honoring Ruth Bader Ginsburg that will premiere in October; what she aimed for in composing Peanuts Gallery, her work for young listeners; her friendship with Charles Schulz; and what she foresees in concert life post-pandemic.
