Maestro Michael Morgan believed that the purpose of a performing arts institution is to make its entire community better. As the world mourns the recent loss of this pivotal figure in American music, Garrett and Scott honor him with anecdotes, stories and recordings from his vastly trailblazing career. Garrett chats with Dr. Antonio Cuyler about the importance of access in DEI spaces, his entrance into arts administration and the cost of living an artistic life on one's own terms. The guys spend the final movement discussing the continued battle for COVID safety and the quick rise and fall of Jeopardy's Executive Producer.
