I could talk to Mark Williams, CEO of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra all day. His vision and guidance has forged deep connections between our uber talented orchestra and the various communities it serves while creating the space for the orchestra to explore innovative ways to collaborate with great artists beyond the traditional scope of classical music. It was a masterclass in innovation and organic engagement. I think you'll love it. Check out the full interview on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.
