In this episode, Karen reunites with her former classmate from Interlochen Arts Academy, Kevin Fitzgerald, who is now the Assistant Conductor of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and Music Director and Founder of ÆPEX Contemporary Performance, a new music organization based in Michigan dedicated to promoting the music of underrepresented and underperformed composers.

In this interview, Kevin unpacks his journey through school as a trumpet player to his current position as an assistant conductor of a full time symphony orchestra and everything along the way, including a memorable performance of the Mozart Requiem following the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in 2016.
