We saw BSO’s Billy Strayhorn/Duke Ellington performance a few weeks ago. I thought Jonathon Heyward was conducting, but once we sat down and read the program, we realized it was a guest conductor.

The guest conductor came out, and there was something familiar about him. Had we seen him before with a different BSO performance? Why did his voice feel so familiar, too? Josh reopened the program and discovered that the guest conductor had played Father Rueben on Big Door Prize. A multi-talented man and one of the best guest conductors we’ve ever seen.
