Culture Crawl 676 “Almost There…”

Ghyas Zeidieh is the new music director of the Cedar Rapids Community Orchestra, reactivated after its pandemic pause and beginning its season Dec. 5 with a concert at Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School.

A native of Damascus, Syria, Ghyas talks about his first visit to Iowa (after being assured it was a “short” drive from Chicago), how the Community Orchestra is organized, and what he is programming for the Orchestra’s first concert in such a long time.
