I am happy to present my blog to you! The site and my first book reflect years of wearing multiple hats as a musician, arts administrator, educator, producer, and cultural entrepreneur. It is my response to my friends, family and colleagues who asked to hear more about my experiences and observations.
Over the course of my career, the arts environment (as well as many other things) have changed dramatically. The cultural scene today, both in the United States and abroad, is very challenging. I plan to explore these shifts in depth and respond to new developments as they happen. My wonderful friends in many countries give me an international perspective through our ongoing discussions about artistic and cultural issues.
