On Thursday night, KUSC will broadcast the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s first concert of its Centennial Season and the 10th anniversary of Gustavo Dudamel as Director. John Van Driel recently spoke to Chad Smith, head of artistic development for the orchestra, about this season’s ambitious plans — especially for a record season of commissions.
