In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Live Doc Project partnered with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra (WSO) to create a multisensorial at-home experience around music, food, and history. In sequences filmed and edited by LDP, Rob Nelson joined Maestro Robert Franz to discuss the times and tastes that surrounded the composers of a seven part concert series as part of the 2021-2022 WSO concert season, including recommended recipes and dishes to order from local businesses.
