In January 2020 , Fabien Gabel visited the WXXI studios in Rochester, NY, to speak about his performances with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, performing works of Beethoven, Poulenc, and Prokofiev.

In 2002, Juliana Athayde and Fabien Gabel were both in the Aspen Summer Music Festival. Fifteen years later, they'll take the stage together--he as guest conductor of your Rochester Philharmonic, and she as soloist in Bartok's Violin Concerto No. 2. Together, they chatted with WXXI Music Director Julia Figueras about the magic of Debussy, the earthiness of Bartok, and what took Juliana so long to get to that concerto.
