INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT (lightly edited for clarity):

Brian McCreath I'm Brian McCreath at Symphony Hall with two conductors from, well, last summer's Tanglewood Music Center, but also many other arenas in which they've conducted, now making their Boston Symphony debuts here at Symphony Hall. Na'Zir McFadden, it's good to see you today. Thank you for your time.
