In this interview with Tom Morris, a veteran of orchestra management whose career included leadership roles with the Boston Symphony and the Cleveland Orchestra, conductor Devin Patrick Hughes provides a comprehensive look at the inner workings of orchestral institutions, the evolution of their management, and the crucial role of music in their success. Morris's journey from a percussionist to a top-level administrator offers a unique perspective, and his reflections provide valuable lessons for anyone interested in the performing arts. One of the most compelling aspects of the interview is Morris's discussion of how his musical background shaped his management philosophy. He emphasizes his deep understanding of musicians' lives, having experienced firsthand the challenges and demands of performing in an orchestra. This empathy enabled him to build trust with musicians and approach labor negotiations with a unique perspective. Morris's belief that "ultimately these institutions are about the music" underscores the importance of passion and artistic integrity in organizational leadership. The episode also explores the historical evolution of orchestra management, particularly the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Morris recounts how, before the 1970s, the orchestra relied on simple postcards for subscription renewals. He explains that over the seventies and eighties, the percentage of the budget earned from ticket sales gradually fell. This shift necessitated the development of marketing and fundraising departments, leading to a significant increase in administrative staff. Morris shares fascinating insights about the Boston Pops, emphasizing that it was founded in 1885, before Arthur Fiedler became its 17th conductor in 1929. The Boston Symphony created the Pops to provide more employment for musicians and to perform lighter music for a broader audience. He discusses how the Boston Symphony transformed Symphony Hall into a "beer hall" to accommodate a more informal setting for the Pops concerts. He explains that in the early days the Pops sold blocks of tickets to community groups and did not have to focus on individual ticket sales. He also recounts how the popularity of Arthur Fiedler was enhanced even further by the "Evening at Pops" television series. Morris details the process of selecting John Williams as Fiedler's successor, explaining that Williams was chosen for his musical integrity and knowledge of the symphony orchestra. Furthermore, the interview addresses the crucial dynamic between management, the music director, and the board of directors, which Morris refers to as the "Bermuda Triangle.” Morris suggests that this structure can function perfectly if the right people are in those roles and are bound by a common vision. He also emphasizes that having a collaborative culture is essential, but that collaborative decision-making should be avoided. Morris stresses the importance of clear lines of authority and not settling for "good enough" when hiring. He also shares that when hiring he uses Jim Collins' three C's: competence, character, and chemistry. These points underscore the need for strong leadership and a shared vision in any successful organization. Morris also touches on the importance of thoughtful programming. He humorously mentions his collection of "dumb programs" and emphasizes the importance of carefully considering the combination of pieces in a concert. He contrasts examples of bad programming with one of his favorites, a concert he organized with Christoph von Dohnányi, which combined pieces by Ligeti, Wagner, and Bruckner. This conversation highlights that thoughtful artistic direction is an essential element in the success of an orchestra. Thank you for joining us on One Symphony.

Thomas Bagge of DCSA & Thomas Morris of FINN Partners talk about digitalization in container shipping; drivers & barriers to change; and progress & priorities. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [06.45] Introductions to today's guests and what they do. “DCSA aims to help digitalize and make container shipping more effective. We're open source and vendor neutral… and our members represent about 75% of the world's containerized capacity.” [10.13] An overview of DCSA's new state of the industry report: what it's about, why they commissioned it, and what they're aiming to achieve. “Decision makers are strongly advocating for more digital tools, more interoperability – they want to improve efficiency… So how do we convert these demands into firm commitments that will help drive digitalization forward?” [13.41] A closer look at the methodology and analytics that were used in the creation of the report. “We're excited. Given the amount of ground we've covered, and the amount of research we've done – we think it's one of the most comprehensive reports looking at digitalization within container shipping.” [17.35] The landscape of digitalization in container shipping, and the historic issues with data, visibility and interoperability. “There have been a lot of great initiatives and strides made in our industry… but we need to take the next steps. A lot of those previous digital initiatives were invented in siloes. So, the biggest issues we have today are a lack of data and interoperability.” [21.32] The current sentiment in the industry towards digital, and whether or not that sentiment was a surprise; and the impact being made by increasing standardization. “I was surprised by the level of manual interventions that we still see in the industry!” “86% of cargo owners said that digitalization is a tool that would help improve efficiency and process, and they see the opportunity – we saw cargo owners talk about customer satisfaction, operational costs, and competitive advantage.” [26.18] The key drivers and barriers to digitalization in the container shipping industry. “Cargo owners are ready to go, but two thirds said they need help and support. Some are fearful of legacy systems… and there's also some internal company resistance. We need to get the tech right, but businesses are made of people, and we need to bring them along on the journey as well.” [30.55] Industry progress, and supply chain stakeholders' priorities for further change. “We have a complex industry, there are many stakeholders – this is a problem of a whole ecosystem…. Removing the barriers to trade is in everybody's interest.” [36.51] Why sustainability has to be one of the industry's biggest priorities; how organizations are approaching increasingly stringent regulations and impending ESG deadlines; and how digitalization is going to make a difference. “The fuel transition is not something that's around the corner, we're going to have emissions for many years to come… but the industry can save up to 14% on fuel through collaboration and implementation of just-in-time standards – and that's work we can do today, we don't have to wait for 2040.” [39.23] What DCSA are currently working on to help address key industry priorities, and an example of how they helped a retailer save costs, standardize, and integrate quickly through effective digitalization. [41.05] How enhanced collaboration can help to accelerate the adoption of digital tools. “Almost a third of cargo owners talked about hesitancy to adopt new technology solutions before their peers or partners. It's a classic case of ‘who jumps first?'!” [43.40] DCSA's vision for the future of container shipping, and how the industry is going to continue to evolve.

“They say life begins at 40,” composer W.C. Handy once said, “but I wouldn't know.” Handy was 40 in 1914 when he wrote “St. Louis Blues,” and, he noted, “ever since, my life has revolved around that composition.”Well, if you're going to have a single song dominate your life, you could do much worse than have it be “St. Louis Blues.” Sometimes called “the jazzman's ‘Hamlet,'” this composition is one of the most enduring and recognizable pieces in all of American music.Classic versions of “St. Louis Blues” have been recorded by some of the world's greatest performers, from Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong to Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock, from Fats Waller and Benny Goodman to Dizzy Gillespie and Dave Brubeck.Origin StoryAs a 19 year old, Handy arrived in St. Louis, Missouri, penniless and slept on the cobblestones of the levee until he finally found work as a musician.Legend has it that his “St. Louis Blues” was inspired by his chance meeting with a woman who walked the city streets tormented by her husband's absence, wailing “my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea.” Handy's work was to memorialize that summer night, right from his opening line: I hate to see the evening sun go down.Handy, says jazz historian Tom Morgan, “drew inspiration for many of his songs from African-American words and music, so it is not surprising that he began to compose the theme to this woman's anguish.”His song touched people all around the world. In France, for instance, guitarist Django Reinhardt played and recorded the tune many times throughout the 1930s. (When Nazi Germany occupied France, American songs became frowned upon, if not banned outright. In order to play them, Reinhardt had to give them French names: “St. Louis Blues” became “La Tristesse du saint Louis.”)Films Two films — one in 1929 and one in 1958 — have made the song their title.The first — a 16-minute two-reeler — presents the only footage we have of the foundational, legendary and essential blues singer Bessie Smith performing. Directed by Dudley Murphy, the film is unique for its all-Black cast, presented in a relatively unprejudiced light for that time period. Its soundtrack featured Smith and her band made up of seminal early jazzmen, including pianist James P. Johnson, cornetists Thomas Morris and Joe Smith and guitarist Bernard Addison, along with the renowned choir led by Francis Hall Johnson. Thirty years later, the 1958 film was a full-length biopic of the composer. In it, Handy was portrayed by popular jazz vocalist Nat “King” Cole. Sharing the screen with him were Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt, gospel icon Mahalia Jackson (and an 11-year-old Billy Preston, who would rock a later generation with tunes like “Nothing from Nothing” and “You Are So Beautiful”).By the time of Handy's death that same year, the songwriter was earning royalties upwards of $25,000 a year on that single composition. Our Take on the TuneThe Flood has been doing versions of this song for decades. In fact, in 2008 it was the first song featured in The Flood's inaugural episode of its weekly podcast.Now this 2024 rendition — episode #710 in that same podcast — comes from the first song of the evening at a Flood rehearsal a few weeks ago. Riding on the infectious rhythm laid down by Randy Hamilton and Jack Nuckols and framing the solos by Danny Cox and Sam St. Clair, the number heralded a particularly fun night at the Bowen house.Video ExtraFor many years, The Flood played “St. Louis Blues” as an instrumental, but it took on a whole new life when Michelle Hoge later claimed it for her own, as she did on New Year's Eve at our big “Flood at 50” birthday bash at Alchemy Theatre. Here's the video of that wonderful moment, shot by our manager Pamela Bowen: This is a public episode.

Groteske Komödie · Mit Ubu, Inbegriff des bornierten, opportunistischen Spießers, schuf Jarry 1896 eine mythische Gestalt in einer Welt grotesker, archetypischer Bilder.

What he heard would blow him away, and lead him to go-on and shape the future of... the Stent.

In this episode of the Expat Empire Podcast, we will be hearing from Thomas Morris. Thomas was born and raised in Texas and left the US for South Korea after graduating from university. After a few years in Korea, he moved to Romania for several months before painfully readjusting to life back in the US. He then moved to Prague to be with his partner where he experienced life as a digital remote employee and eventually decided to join a local Czech company. Hear his stories of living in three very different countries, losing his religion, his successful and unsuccessful relationships he's had along the way, and his ongoing search for the international lifestyle that suits him best. LEARN in this episode: ✔ The real story about what life's like as a graduate student and worker in Korea ✔ Why you can never “go back home” ✔ What you can gain from learning three very different languages from scratch ✔ Why the remote work and digital nomad lifestyles aren't the right fit for everyone ----- SCHEDULE your free consulting call: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireContact DOWNLOAD our free Top 10 Tips for Moving Abroad eBook: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireTop10 REVIEW us: https://ratethispodcast.com/expatempire FOLLOW us on Social Media: ► Instagram: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireIG ► Facebook: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireFB ► LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/ExpatEmpireLI

Welcome to our first episode of our Western Australia season! Fair warning, this episode discusses the death of children. Remember when we said we weren’t gonna cover child murder cases? We’re massive liars.Life’s tough out there for a kid in 1907. You have to write on a literal rock at school, the only thing you have to play with is a hoop and a stick, there are no video games yet, and you’re dodging the Grim Reaper at every turn. If the ol’ infant mortality rate doesn’t get you, or the common cold, maybe your own stepmother will.This episode, we discuss the Wicked Stepmother of East Perth, Martha Rendell, and we question whether or not this lady really did poison three of her stepchildren with hydrochloric acid, or if she actually committed a far more serious crime for the early 20th century – being an unattractive, unmarried woman who was living in sin.EPISODE NOTES:Annie, Olive and Arthur Morris died from what was believed at the time to be illnesses arising from complications with an earlier bout of diphtheria. But all the children had curious symptoms that were unable to be diagnosed by some of the best doctors in Australia at the time. They suffered from seizures, typhoid fever, and burning pains in the stomach that didn’t seem to have a clear cause. The children were buried, and the Morris family was considered to be terribly unlucky, until one day George Morris accused Martha Rendell, the family’s housekeeper and his father’s mistress, of poisoning his siblings with spirit of salts – the old-timey name for hydrochloric acid.Martha was put on trial, and the press had a field day when it was uncovered that she was not really the children’s mother, as she presented herself, but really just Thomas Morris’ mistress, a homewrecker who had been having an affair with Thomas for over ten years. The salacious supposed murder of the three children painted Martha as a wicked and uncaring stepmother who delighted in children’s suffering.She was sentenced to hanging in 1909, but in recent years there has been much discussion about whether Martha was really responsible for the deaths, or if she herself was a victim of the society in which she lived.I myself suffered from some kind of paresis of the brain nerves and thought it would be “fun” to reference this week’s sources in Harvard style, because I used a lot of journal articles and I’m a uni student and was like, this will be a fun gag, then halfway through I was like, what is wrong with me. Anyway, if you want to learn more about Martha Rendell and the social circumstances acting on her, please look here:Haebich, A 1998 'Murdering stepmothers: the trial and execution of Martha Rendell',Journal of Australian Studies vol. 22, no. 59, 66-81, accessed 31 August 2019, available Haebach, A 2010 'Revisiting the Trial of Matha Rendell', The New Critic, accessed August 31 2019, available For all the fun medical information, go here:Koschny, R et al 2013, 'Fatal Course of a Suicidal Intoxication with Hydrochloric Acid', Case Reports in Gastroenterology vol 7 no 1, 89-96, accessed 31 August 2019, available Paget, G E 1883, 'Case of Coexistence of Diphtheria and Typhoid Fever', The British Medical Journal vol 2, no 1176, 67-68, accessed 31 August 2019, available Piradov, M.

A puzzling series of dental explosions beginning in the nineteenth century is just one of many strange tales that have long lain undiscovered in the pages of old medical journals. Award-winning medical historian Thomas Morris delivers one of the most remarkable, cringe-inducing collections of stories ever assembled. Witness Mysterious Illnesses (such as the Rhode Island woman who peed through her nose), Horrifying Operations (1781: A French soldier in India operates on his own bladder stone), Tall Tales (like the "amphibious infant" of Chicago, a baby that could apparently swim underwater for half an hour), Unfortunate Predicaments (such as that of the boy who honked like a goose after inhaling a bird's larynx), and a plethora of other marvels.

For thousands of years the human heart remained the deepest of mysteries; both home to the soul and an organ too complex to touch, let alone operate on. Then, in the late nineteenth century, medics began going where no one had dared go before. The following decades saw the mysteries of the heart exposed, thanks to pioneering surgeons, brave patients and even sacrificial dogs. In eleven landmark operations, Thomas Morris tells us stories of triumph, reckless bravery, swaggering arrogance, jealousy and rivalry, and incredible ingenuity: the trail-blazing blue baby procedure that transformed wheezing infants into pink, healthy children; the first human heart transplant, which made headline news around the globe. And yet the heart still feels sacred: just before the operation to fit one of the first artificial hearts, the patients wife asked the surgeon if he would still be able to love her. The Matter of the Heart: A History of the Heart in Eleven Operations (Thomas Dunne Books, 2018) gives us a view over the surgeon's shoulder, showing us the hearts inner workings and failings. It describes both a human story and a history of risk-taking that has ultimately saved millions of lives. Jeremy Corr is the co-host of the hit Fixing Healthcare podcast along with industry thought leader Dr. Robert Pearl.

Thomas Morris- We Don't Know What We're Doing by by The Irish Times Books Podcast
Dubliners 100 is a collection of 15 short stories, just like James Joyce's original short story collection, Dubliners, but each one written by a contemporary Irish wirter. They are not re-written stories or modernizations of the original work, but editor Thomas Morris thought of the idea of making 15 "cover versions" like in pop music. Dubliners 100 was released on the 100th anniversary of the publishing of Joyce's Dubliners. While Joyce wrote about the everyday middle-class people of Dublin, the new stories reflect these people 100 years later and speaks to our time. Marie chats with Thomas Morris, the editor of Dubliners 100 about how he got the idea for the book and how the project got started. He talks about how he chose well-known contemporary Irish authors as well as up and coming emerging writers. Thomas discussed how these creative works of fiction have also become commentary and interpretation of the original Joyce. Authors contributing to the stories in Dubliners 100 are: Patrick McCabe, Mary Morrissy, John Boyne, Donal Ryan, Andrew Fox, Evelyn Conlon, Oona Frawley, John Kelly, Belinda McKeon, Michèle Forbes, Paul Murray, Eimear McBride, Elske Rahill, Sam Coll, Peter Murphy, and including an Introduction by Thomas Morris.
