The Muse in Music -- Thomas Morris on his New Book - Always the Music: How a Lifelong Passion Framed a Future for Orchestras

By, Dan Perttu

Please join me as I talk with Thomas Morris, former chief executive leader of The Cleveland Orchestra and Boston Symphony and current Artistic Director of the Ojai Music Festival, about his new book, Always the Music: How a Lifelong Passion Framed a Future for Orchestras.  We talk about challenges facing major orchestra institutions today and how “leading with the music” can ensure their long-term success; the essence of visionary leadership; and how music institutions can balance creativity with inevitable bureaucratization.
