A conversation with the legendary British conductor, author, and one of the foremost interpreters of 18th century music. In addition to numerous prestigious conducting assignments, Dame Jane Glover was music director of Glyndebourne Touring Opera (1981-1985), artistic director of London Mozart Players (1984-1991), Director of Opera at the Royal Academy of Music (2009-2016), and has served as music director of the Chicago-area’s Music of the Baroque since 2002. Maestro Glover joins host Oliver Camacho to discuss Bach’s St. John and St. Matthew Passions, which she characterizes as the summit of music from the Baroque era.
