ESO Offstage

Welcome to ESO Offstage – a new podcast that gives you an insider's look into the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and its community. Join ESO Assistant Principal Double Bassist Max Cardilli as he covers the rapidly evolving world of the orchestra by speaking with people from all walks of life. ESO, like you've never heard it before.

“I’ve always loved the quote by Mendelssohn that says, “Art and Life are not two different things.” Music is important – it helps us express what language can’t and helps shape our community. So, let’s talk about it! The role of the orchestra in the 21st century is changing – and a podcast offers a platform for conversation and storytelling about where we have been, where we are and where we are going,” explains Max Cardilli.
