Ellen talks about her Symphony No. 1 with Melisse Brunet of the Lexington Philharmonic

The Lexington Philharmonic performs Ellen’s Symphony No. 1 on February 18, 2023, on a program dubbed “Continuous Variation, [which] derives its name from a technique used by composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich in her Symphony No. 1, a work which demonstrates the potential of a handful of ideas to develop into new material.”

The Lexington Philharmonic Music Director, Melisse Brunet, conducted a wide-ranging interview with Ellen; see it on the orchestra’s YouTube channel here.
