Kypros Markou, professor and director of orchestral studies at Wayne State University , is profiled in a story about his 25 year career as maestro of the Westmoreland Symphony Orchestra in Greensburg , Penn. \"One of the things I\'ve done with the Westmoreland orchestra is to consistently include music from American composers, which wasn\'t done before me,\" Markou said. \"I also commission new pieces to perform. I try to cover a wide variety of music, French, Germanic, Slavic composers, baroque, romantic, the 20th century." Photos of Markou are included.
