Dr. Sasha Ishov gives a talk on the art and craft of recital programming at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

Abstract
Every program tells a story of what we value, how we listen, and who we center. Programming is both artistic curation and practical decision-making, shaped by our tastes, experiences, and the requirements or expectations of a performance context. In this session, Miyazawa Artist Sasha Ishov invites you to explore recital programming as creative authorship—balancing aesthetic diversity, curiosity, and practical realities to shape performances that are both meaningful and distinctive.
