Eric Jacobsen is completing his final season with the Greater Bridgeport Symphony. Today on Where We Live, we talk to Eric about his work as a conductor and we’ll also hear about the search for the next Greater Bridgeport Symphony conductor.

The performing art took a huge financial hit during the pandemic, but the Greater Bridgeport Symphony Bridgeport-Symphony-performs-first-live-15513901.php">found a way to gather and perform during this time.

We hear about their commitment to serving the Greater Bridgeport community, and their work to get the children interested in classical music.
