Recognized as one of the world’s most acclaimed orchestra conductors, the late James DePreist led the Oregon Symphony to new heights during his 23 years as its music director. His remarkable story is told in a new memoir by his widow Ginette — a book the former classical music critic of the New York Times called “warm, wise, and engaging.” Ginette was joined in conversation by OHS Boyle Family Executive Director Kerry Tymchuk. Copies of the book are available for purchase and signing through the OHS Museum Store.
