This week's Classical Californian is Patricia Kristof Moy, the Executive Director of the Bay Area's chamber music series Music at Kohl Mansion; she's also been the San Francisco Opera's French language and diction coach for many years. Her selections are inspired by her experiences there, the time she served as Executive Director of the Stern Grove Music Festival, as well as her personal life, growing up in France as the child of Hungarian ex-pats.
