Conductors Roger Kalia and Keitaro Harada will hold a livestreamed conversation on June 27 at 9 p.m. ET on Harada’s online series “Music Today.” On YouTube and Facebook, the two will speak about a range of topics and share a video performance of Sheridan Seyfried’s Double Concerto for Two Violins, which was premiered by the Lake George Music Festival Orchestra in 2017, conducted by Kalia, with Nikki and Timmy Chooi as violin soloists.
