Longtime Cleveland Orchestra Principal Keyboard Joela Jones will retire as a member of the ensemble after the Oct. 17 concert at Severance Music Center. She chats with WCLV's Jacqueline Gerber about her original audition, the conductors for whom she has played, and what current Music Director Franz Welser-Most has in common with George Szell. She receives the orchestra's Distinguished Service Award before the Thursday, Oct. 14 concert, which you can hear live at 7:30 p.m.  EDT on WCLV.
