Hi there!  Happy end of September and welcome to episode no.9 of the Conductor’s Podcast Wisdom series, a new series full of shared life experiences and, of course, wisdom! This series is aired on the last Thursday of each month, and in each episode, I am going to pose a question to 10 musicians, conductors, or business gurus. So including myself, you will hear all the goodies from a wide variety of people, thus called the wisdom series. Now, without further ado, let’s get started. This month’s question that I am asking my people is, “Your favorite thing about what you do.” My guests today are:  Alice Farnham (opera conductor, episode 26) Aubrey Bergauer (founder, Changing the Narrative, episode 52) Julia Baumanis (Assistant Director of Bands, Rutgers University, episode 31) Carolyn Watson (Director of Orchestras, UIUC, episode 53) Tianyi Lu (Principal Guest Conductor, Stavanger Symphony, episode 34) Lina Gonzalez Granados (Conducting Fellow, Philadelphia Orchestra and Chicago Symphony Orchestra, episode 38) Sarah Ioannides (Conductor, Symphony Tacoma, episode 42) Susie Seiter (Film conductor, episode 29) Maria Sensi Sellner (founder, resonance work, episode 45) Cynthia Johnston Turner (Dean of the Faculty of Music, Wilfrid Laurier University, episode 56)
