The 2010-2011 season marks Lawrence Leighton Smith's 11th year as Music Director of the Colorado Springs Symphony and Philharmonic, and his final one on the job. What should have been a triumphant retirement year for Smith has been darkened by news of his recent diagnosis with Binswanger's Disease, a form of dementia. But Smith was in high spirits as he looked back on his career with KRCC's Michelle Mercer, who offers this retrospective.
