I’m pleased to note that frequent reader and commenter on this blog, Drew McManus, today launched his own weblog on ArtsJournal, called ‘Adaptistration‘. It’s focus will be specifically on the status, potential, and challenges of the orchestra in American society. He and I have been flinging comments back and forth since this blog began, and I look forward to moving that conversation on-line.
I’m also glad to have the burden of symphony administration removed from my plate and moved to his. Not that I don’t enjoy a good conversation about managing symphonies, but they are such a specific beast in the nonprofit arts and culture world (and such a conversation-dominating one), that we often miss the interesting stories in the other 95 percent of the field. (I made the analogy about symphonies, whales, kelp, and krill in an early post back in July.)
I’ll still be writing about symphonies, mind you. But I’ll likely leave the specifics to Drew and focus more on the wider world of arts and cultural management. So, do check out his weblog, and the future connections between us.
