Joe Bednar talks with Heather Caisse-Roberts, President and CEO, Springfield Symphony Orchestra
Heather-Caisse Roberts came to the Springfield Symphony Orchestra in 2022 and took the reins there last summer, bringing both a background in development and a passion for the SSO’s mission. She says it’s a dream job, but not one without challenges ranging from fundraising to expanding the symphony’s audience for the next generation. On the next episode of BusinessTalk, Heather talks with BusinessWest Editor Joe Bednar about how the SSO continues to blend classic fare with surprisingly modern influences, the importance of its youth programs in building a bridge to the future, and the transporting magic of live music — and why it resonates with all ages. Like the symphony itself, it’s must listening, so tune into BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by BusinessWest over both audio and video platforms, and sponsored by Greenfield Cooperative Bank.
