Just as I was working on the new platform for several of the Inside The Arts blogs, I get an email from the fine folks over at MusicalAmerica.com informing me they have refreshed the look of their site with a timely makeover. Additionally, there is a new culture blog, of which the content is free (hooray!) but the regular arts news is still subscriber only (aw). There’s also a fee based service for travel planning and all of the other material you’re used to finding so if you haven’t stopped by in awhile, you should at least check out the new blog.
About Drew McManus "I hear that every time you show up to work with an orchestra, people get fired." Those were the first words out of an executive's mouth after her board chair introduced us. That executive is now a dear colleague and friend but the day that consulting contract began with her orchestra, she was convinced I was a hatchet-man brought in by the board to clean house.consulting and technology provider work for arts organizations involves due diligence, separating fact from fiction, interpreting spin, as well as performance review and oversight. So yes, sometimes that work results in one or two individuals "aggressively embracing career change" but far more often than not, it reinforces and clarifies exactly what works and why.blog about the orchestra business, provide a platform for arts insiders to speak their mind, keep track of what people in this business get paid, help write a satirical cartoon about orchestra life, hack the arts, and love a good coffee drink.
