NaBSCO in Motif Magazine

Music Director Kristo Kondakçi and Vice President Crikkett Young spoke with Joe DeMarco of Motif Magazine in August 2021 about NaBSCO’s history, keeping music going during COVID, and looking forward to our 2021-22 season.

As COVID restrictions loosen and live performance returns, NaBSCO has an ambitious season planned, filled with repertoire that would be considered adventurous programming by any standards.
