We were saddened to learn today of the passing of Pierre Boulez, the French avant-garde composer who conducted The Cleveland Orchestra in some 220 concerts over the span of 50 years. 

Franz Welser-Möst, Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra, spoke via phone with WCLV's Bill O'Connell about this great maestro.
