Â鶹Éç Friday night will host a classical music concert with a twist “ the audience picks the music. KERA™s Stephen Becker explains:

When he walks into Caruth Auditorium on Friday night, Jack Delaney won™t know which pieces of music that he™ll conduct.

That™s because when concertgoers enter the hall, they will be handed a ballot and asked to narrow down a field of eight well-known classical pieces down to four. In the four matchups, they will chose piece A or piece B and text their picks to a device that tallies the votes.

Among the matchups are Bernstein™s Overture to Candide vs. Shostakovich™s Festive Overture

It™s the first time the Meadows Wind Ensemble has tried programming by proxy. Delaney, the ensemble™s director, isn™t even 100 percent sure that it will work.
