Musical Chairs: A Musician Turned Administrator Talks of Changing RolesDonald Thulean
Abstract: I'd had a good conducting career. I knew what my strengths were'and weaknesses, too. As music director of an orchestra in a medium-sized city, I had been part of building an orchestra and audience where neither had really existed before my time. I'd prepared and performed most of the repertoire that I loved and admired at least once, and many works a number of times. And then I accepted a position as an administrator'a position that allowed little time for conducting. The administrative position was challenging, national in scope, and held the opportunity to address issues that had long concerned me as a practicing musician. Why did I feel guilty? Why did I feel like a traitor? Whom was I letting down? Who cared what I did with the last third of my life so long as it was respectable and useful? |
