Conductor thrilled with lineup for new season

Conductor Leslie Dala talks to Prince George Citizen about PGSO 09-10 season and his collaboration with Iman Habibi:

“I was on a jury of a piano competition two years ago and in addition to playing other works, he presented a couple of his own pieces and I thought they were really outstanding[…] I really believe he’s going to be one of the big names in classical music and I wanted to beat everybody else to the punch.”
