Yoo travels the world as a conductor and violinist, and is also Artistic Director of the Mexico City Philharmonic. Besides all that, Yoo is the host and executive producer of an exciting new travel/music show, called Now Hear This. The show will be the first classical music program to air on prime time television in 50 years. Now Hear This will air in Fall 2019 on local public television stations as part of PBS’s Great Performances. You can see a screening of Now Hear This before it airs on PBS. The third episode will play at San Luis Obispo’s Palm Theatre on Friday, July 19th at 7:00 pm followed by a Q&A with Scott Yoo.

While shooting the third episode of Now Hear This in Spain and Morocco, Yoo was inspired by the musical and cultural influences of that region. Yoo drew on the creativity of the people he encountered during these travels to design Festival Mozaic’s 2019 summer season, “Music of the Old World.” The 2019 Summer Music Festival explores the many cultural influences of the Iberian Peninsula on Western music. Artists and music featured in the Now Hear This episode will be featured at this summer’s Festival.
Flamenco dancer Illeana Gomez is a guest star of the third episode of Now Hear This. As a featured UnClassical artist at the Summer Festival, she will lead an evening of flamenco music at the historic Dana Adobe Cultural Center in Nipomo, and a free dance workshop in partnership with the SLO Movement Arts Center. Other Festival concerts will take place in venues such as Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, Serra Chapel, and the state-of-the-art Harold J. Miossi Cultural and Performing Arts Center at Cuesta College.
