Elena See

Saturdays 11 am - 5 pm ET
Sundays 12 am - 6 am and 5 pm - Midnight ET
From Minnesota to Maine to Ohio to Washington, D.C., Elena See is the Music Director for Symphony Hall. But her love of music certainly does not stop with classical symphonies and string quartets. No it doesn't. She's a clarinetist who loves jazz and bluegrass, a shower-singer who gets excited about contemporary acoustic music and a girl who takes every opportunity to listen to folk music in the rain. Elena originally started out in the radio world working for public radio's "A Prairie Home Companion" with Garrison Keillor in Minnesota...when she decided to move to the great Northeast, she was lucky enough to become Maine Public Radio's Music Director and when the winds of travel called again, they led her to W

Preston Trombly | email
Weekdays Noon - 6 pm ET
Saturdays 5 pm - 11 pm ET
All of the hosts at Symphony Hall have concerts and performances that they cite as their most memorable. But not many hosts can cite performances of their own compositions. Preston Trombly, however, can: "The concert I remember most was one of my own music in the Auditorium of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City!" Another one that made an impression on him, quite a few years earlier, was given by the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. "Fritz Mahler – nephew of Gustav Mahler – was conducting. For years after, I thought conductors had to be men in swallow-tail tuxedos with wavy silver-grey hair!" He now knows that neither conductors nor radio hosts need recognize any dress code: it's all about dressing for comfort. One's attire shouldn't distract from the enjoyment of the music!

Martin Goldsmith
Weekdays 6 am – Noon ET
Saturdays 6 am – 11 am ET
With both parents classical musicians, it was no surprise that Martin Goldsmith chose a career in the family business. But no one could guess that radio programming would vault him to a level of renown usually reserved for performers. As host of the nationally syndicated program Performance Today, Goldsmith made the once-distant world of classical music more approachable, more dynamic, and more fun than it has ever been for millions of listeners. "Sirius XM's commitment to classical music is no different from its commitment to all other genres," Goldsmith says. "We treat it with love and respect and offer it in its purest form ... as an exciting and moving expression of what's best about humanity." Goldsmith is also an author who has written two books, one about his parents and their experiences playing in an all-Jewish orchestra in Nazi Germany, The Inextinguishable Symphony, and one about the Beatles.
