The Lincoln Motor Company’s latest stop in the “Engage Your Senses” tour was the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, where representatives from the luxury automaker and the orchestra discussed the all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC.
Soo Kang, interior design chief for Lincoln, and James Smelser, horn player with almost 30 years of service at the CSO, explored the way balance, harmony, tempo, and emotion are used in both classical music and luxury automotive design.

“The whole team has to be in rhythm; if someone misses a note, the customer, or audience, if you will, notices. This can create frustration or confusion.”
