May 28, 2013 WMFE - Classical music fans in Central Florida have a choice of orchestras if they want to see a live performance. 90.7's Matthew Peddie speaks with Aaron Collins, Artistic Director of the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra, and Christopher Wilkins, Music Director of the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, about the state of classical music in Central Florida and the direction their organizations are heading. Also, May is Asian Pacific American Heritage month. The Asian population is the fastest growing in the United States and Orlando is home to a thriving community of Vietnamese restaurants and businesses. To talk about that community Matthew Peddie is joined by Thomas Nguyen, former host of Radio Saigon, a Vietnamese radio station broadcast through Central Florida.
