On this episode we dive into the pit with Tiffany Chang, an award winning conductor and creator of “Conductor as CEO”, a blog that champions leadership skills for fellow conductors, arts leaders and musicians. Both Tiffany and Pete give us a “look in” at their look in work at the Kennedy Center and we chat about the hierarchy in the opera/classical world and how creativity fits, or doesn’t fit in.
