Leaders Reframe False Dichotomies

    Tuesday, July 7, 2020 at 10:00 AM until Thursday, July 9, 2020 at 11:30 AMPacific Daylight Time

    Content creators vs owners. Tradition vs innovation. Musicians vs management. All of these are false dichotomies that affect the conversations among artists and administrators. Over three days, small groups of top musicians and managers across the orchestra and opera world will openly discuss these important topics outside the bargaining table in response to the accelerated rate of change around us. Each day, these facilitated discussions will be streamed and open to all to observe: players, singers, administrators, students, board members, and anyone else who believes classical music isn’t a zero sum game among its constituents.

    July 7
    CONTENT CREATORS VS OWNERS
    Streaming and pro-bono work in a post-covid world.

    July 8
    MUSICIANS VS MANAGEMENT
    Collaborative decision making: pie in the sky or does the pie get bigger?

    July 9
    RESTORATION VS OPPORTUNITY
    A pandemic recovery where tradition and innovation are not mutually exclusive.

    Dates: July 7, 8, 9; 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM (PDT) each day
