Jose Daniel Flores-Caraballo & Robert Paterson

Albany Pro Musica and the Mostly Modern Festival have announced a new three-year artistic collaboration that unites one of the region’s leading choral ensembles with one of the Capital Region’s most distinctive summer music festivals. APM’s Opalka family artistic director Jose Daniel Flores Caraballo and MMF’s co-founder and artistic director Robert Paterson spoke with us about this new partnership andsome upcoming events.

Rob Brown comes from a musical family. His mother played piano and taught in this area for nearly 30 years. One uncle is a composer and brass player, one aunt is a professional accompanist and recitalist. And his grandfather had a record collection to rival WMHT’s. He started at WMHT as an intern in 1996. His first job was to go through the stacks of vinyl to make sure they were filed properly. He’s now the Music Director and is thrilled to continue in the “family business” and share more of our very favorite classical music from 1-4 every weekday and 11-3 on Sundays.
