“I grew up thinking that we should sound like the music we're singing. There was never one right way for me. There are those great choral traditions where they sing everything a certain way. I never wanted to be that way. We can do seven different pieces in seven entirely different styles. You would think, 'is that the same choir?' That's something that my choirs take seriously.”Recipient of the President's Award from the California Music Educators Association honoring "extraordinary accomplishments in music education," Dr. Jonathan Talberg serves as Director of Choral Activities at the Bob Cole Conservatory, where he is conductor of the international award-winning Bob Cole Conservatory Chamber Choir and the CSULB University Choir. Recent career highlights include leading the Chamber Choir to first place at the Austrian Spittal International Choir Festival and the "Choir of the World" competition in Wales. Additionally, he and the choir have performed with groups as diverse as the Kronos Quartet, the Los Angeles Master Chorale, the Pacific Symphony and the Rolling Stones.A passionate advocate for choral music education, Dr. Talberg is regularly engaged to conduct honor choirs across the US, including numerous all-state choruses, and Music Education conference choirs. His choirs have performed in venues throughout Europe and Asia.A past-president of the California Choral Directors Association, he serves as an editor at Pavane Music Publishing, where a choral series dedicated to outstanding quality, collegiate-level music is published under his name. Of the many hats he wears each day, the one he is most proud of is mentor to the next generation of choral musicians. Alumni of the Bob Cole Conservatory Choral Studies program are teaching at elementary, middle and high schools, churches, community colleges and four-year universities throughout the country. Scores of alumni are professional singers and/or currently earning—or have finished—their doctorates at some of the finest institutions in the country.Dr. Talberg received his BM from Chapman University, his MM and DMA from the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music and completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Pops, and the May Festival Chorus.

John Morris Russell Talks Shaken Not Stirred Dan and Tom interview Maestro John Morris Russell (JMR) about his Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert, “Shaken Not Stirred,” musical scores, and James Bond music.  As you might have guessed, the concert's focus is the music of James Bond.   You may know JMR from his work as the conductor of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra for the past 13 years.  Joining JMR in the concert is the amazing vocalist Capathia Jenkins. She possesses the wide vocal range needed to cover the various styles of singers from the James Bond catalog. We will be attending the concert and we're sure James Bond fans will enjoy this one.   In this episode, JMR talks about what to expect in this concert and how they put it together.  He also talks about his career, why he decided to conduct instead of play an instrument, some influential composers, and film scoring in general.  If you've ever wanted to know what a composer has to deal with in scoring a movie, JMR gives you a good idea.  It is really amazing how they do it. One other area we discuss is how technology has made composition more efficient.  Much is the same as it's been for hundreds of years.  But, some of it is streamlined today. Raymond Benson with an assist Dan and Tom wanted some expertise for this interview, so they asked Raymond Benson for an assist.  Of course, Raymond graciously agreed. Raymond helped us delve into other composers' works and JMR's experiences with them.  Plus, Raymond tells of a very scary experience he had with composer John Barry. What do you think? So, we're excited to be going to this concert and see John Morris Russell put what he told us into action.  We think this will be a good one.  Do you have plans to go to this concert?   If so, let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you thought of this episode by dropping us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.  The more we hear from you, the better the show will be!  We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!

So much more than just a famous TV theme tune, Prokofiev's music for Romeo and Juliet is full of intensity, drama, passion, wit and the occasional brilliantly pure dance number. Simultaneously draining and energising it's a fabulous demonstration of the sheer power of music. I love it. Listening time 41 minutes (podcast 11', music 30') There's a mistake: Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, not her brother. Oops! There goes my GCSE English grade!   Here are complete performances of Prokofiev's 2nd suite from Romeo and Juliet on Youtube and Spotify and (maybe only a link to the first track?) on Apple Music, played by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conducted by Paavo Järvi.

The new three-year agreement immediately restores salaries to pre-pandemic levels, restarts the hiring process for vacant positions and significantly alters work rules. The CSO's Jonathan Martin says the agreement is about responding to the needs of the community.

(Recorded June 2021) Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi is one of the most in-demand maestros in the world, and one of Alec's favorite conductors. Järvi is currently the chief conductor of the NHK symphony orchestra in Tokyo and the Tonhalle Orchester-Zürich. Over his career, he's led orchestras in Paris, Frankfurt, Stockholm, Malmö, and, for the decade between 2001 and 2011, here in the United States, as the musical director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. He and his musical family are pillars of the thriving classical music scene in his home country of Estonia. Paavo Järvi talks to Alec about how slowing down in the pandemic offered Paavo time to think, his early love of music, what it was like to come to the United States from Soviet-era Estonia as a 17-year-old, and what he took away from a decade of conducting the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Daniel Wachter is the guest host on this episode of the Talent Magnet Leadership Podcast, as part of his series Making Leadership Tangible. Stefani Matsuo is his guest. Stefani is the Concertmaster at the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and also serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Violin at the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. In this exciting conversation, Stefani and Daniel talk about her role as a concertmaster and how the disciplines related to that role can be translated to leadership in the business world. Stefani describes what it's like to be a concertmaster, and what it takes. [3:09] The partnership between a concertmaster and a conductor can start before the first rehearsal. The concertmaster and conductor can have meetings to discuss the music in advance, as it's being prepared for performance. The conductor's job is to communicate their interpretation of a score through speaking and through their actions, and the concertmaster's job is to interpret the conductor's interpretation and convert that to the orchestra. Concertmasters also have to be able to collaborate with their colleagues on stage and guide dialogue in rehearsals when an interpretation is not clear. [5:26] In music and the business world, individuals will not always agree. Oftentimes, however, these conflicts and the difficult conversations that ensue, can lead to better outcomes as it allows for people to make suggestions and for new methods and avenues to be applied. Making agreements even when you disagree, and being open-minded are traits all leaders should have. [9:39] Trust is one of the key principles of leadership. [14:31] Stefani talks about the many ways concertmasters convey to the orchestra during performances. [15:53] Successful leaders balance being direct and taking a step back, without being laissez-faire. To scale and to motivate people, you need to give them freedom of action. Leave them the space they need and allow them to have their own interpretation, as long as it still aligns with the framework of the composition. [21:00] Learning by doing is the best way to get into the leadership mindset. Leaders also learn by reading, listening to podcasts, and picking the brains of other leaders they know personally. [23:56] Stefani talks about how being a young female concertmaster has impacted her career in the music industry. [27:25] For young women who are or hope to be in leadership positions, be persistent and know that your skills are important and good. If you're turned down for a job, use that critique and build on it to approach your next job. Use the criticism to strengthen your skillset instead of letting it hinder or discourage you.

Being a great conductor is just like being a great business leader. Today's guest on the Talent Magnet Leadership Podcast, Louis Langrée, shares this insight with guest host Daniel Wachter. Louis is a conductor and has been the Music Director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for the past eight years. He has won several awards including the Best Recording of the Year Award at the International Opera Awards, and Best Video Performance at the International Classical Music Awards. In this episode's conversation, Louis and Daniel talk about his role as a conductor, and how the disciplines in that field can be applied to leadership in business. Leaders have to create conditions where their employees can be their best, and where energy and talent thrive to build a unique culture. [3:10] Louis explains that conductors interpret a composer's work through the prism of their own sensibility and experience. The conductor also takes into account what the composer envisions for their piece. [4:55] The more you know a score, the more freedom your musicians have. If you're not sure, you micromanage. It's the same in business: the more leaders understand and are confident in the bigger picture, the less they will micromanage their employees.  [9:14] Musicians in an orchestra must listen to one another, and tune together. They have to  give their best as a collective, and know how to blend and balance with each other. [12:24] It is arrogant and counterproductive to enter a new environment as a leader with the intention of changing the established culture; even more so if you're only there temporarily. “You have a limited impact in a short amount of time,” Daniel remarks. [17:36] Louis talks about the challenges of having to perform without rehearsal with an orchestra. [19:47] If leaders try to control too much, it's no longer leading but reacting. [22:19] Encouragement is the most powerful thing a leader can give to their employees. This can become problematic however, as it can go so far that the leader becomes obsolete. On the other hand, pushing too much can cause your team to become demotivated. [24:47] Louis talks about staying motivated when you're not playing in front of an audience. [28:00] In a business crisis, having a turnaround mindset and using that crisis as a catalyst for change is much more productive than a mindset of resignation.

We are excited to present today’s inspiring conversation with Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Pops CEO and President, Jonathan Martin! We also share some highlights with you today from a soon-to-be-released musical suite based of the music of the Beach Boys and co-written by Sam Hyken, Jason Matthews, Aaron Lebos, and Armando Lopez.  Be sure to check out the snippets at the beginning, and stick around for exclusive preview at the end!This wide-ranging conversation covers arts leadership in a whole new world, how staying curious and constant learning are essential, and that through digital concerts and relevantly-curated programs we can create unique intimacy through digital presentations that can take us places we have never been before. While never losing sight of how the first and main mission of an orchestra is to serve its community, Jonathan expresses how making music should never, in any way, be disconnected from the pulse of its hometown, or provided solely for the elite. There is a cohesive quality to music, and through its universality we can create magic, inclusion, and inspiration, both in the concert hall and in our communities. Finally, as the title suggests, Jonathan emphasizes that now, more than ever, we must DARE TO FAIL, and that finding new pathways forward for orchestral institutions will cause some growing pains along the way.  We are honored to share Jonathan’s wisdom, love of music and artists, and vast experience in our field, as well as his pathway to personal truth and success and the important lessons he has learned along the way.

Aaron Tindall is a tuba celebrity and has enjoyed a beautiful career that he has worked his tail off for. This is one of the most personal interviews I've had in that we talk about failure, being in HUNDREDS of thousand of dollars of debt (and how that tested his marriage) and the incredible ride music has taken him on.

Anthony McGill is one of the greatest clarinetists in the classical music field today. He's been the Associate Principal Clarinet of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Principal Clarinet of the Metropolitan Orchestra, and currently serves as Principal Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic. Several months ago, Anthony's older brother, Demarre McGill, was featured on the show. What an honor to have the opportunity to talk to Anthony, whom I've known since he was a student at Curtis. In addition to his remarkable achievements in the orchestral world and collaborations with some of the greatest classical musicians, Anthony performed with Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma and Gabriela Montero at the inauguration of President Barack Obama back in 2009. On a tangential note, Anthony was actually partially responsible for inspiring me to become a paperless musician, and start a little company called “AirTurn” to create wireless page turning pedals for reading digital sheet music hands free.
