Brott has a long and storied career transforming Canadian orchestras and in recent years has seen an explosion in guest conducting duties in Europe, particularly in Italy, where he is scheduled to conduct three fully staged operas in 2011. He is perhaps best known for leading the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra to international acclaim in the 1970s and 80s and for his charismatic style and innovative approach to programming classical concerts.
Paikin, a Hamilton native, is the anchor and senior editor of the program that he describes as featuring “more intelligent analysis, and more robust, thought-provoking debate and discussion among newsmakers and experts.”
