This week our hosts Nina & Dan are recording just as the first rains from Tropical Storm Beta roll into town. Undeterred, our intrepid hosts are joined by Kyle Mercury, long time friend of Dan and collaborator on the Ghost Stories podcast. Kyle has had an incredibly varied professional career, with stops including Nintendo, Apple, and the Los Angeles Auto Show. He shares his personal experiences from the last 12 months as well as keen insight into how we can best recognize and adapt to things that are simply out of our control. We hope you enjoy it!

Hello and welcome to Episode 2 of Pivot Party! This week we sat down with cellist Jean Gay and talked about how the pandemic has altered her experience in performance, teaching, and life in general. She really summed it up the best:

"Right now the traditional options are not available, and that opens the door to new collaborations and connections, and ones that people might not commit to in our ordinary ‘busy’ time."
