Plus, conductor Joshua Gersen and producer and journalist Steven C. Smith, who is an expert on film composer Bernard Herrmann, discuss live performances by the San Francisco Symphony accompanying classic Hitchcock films. And Peter Robinson offers some background on the Halloween holiday and traditions. Open Air, originally broadcast on Thursday October 31 -Halloween- at 1pm. Listen now or anytime.
