In this episode, Liz and Steph talk with Mei-Ann Chen, Music Director of the ever-progressive, MacArthur award-winning, Chicago Sinfonietta. Ms Chen is known not only for her energetic style on the podium, but for being a champion for the mission of the Sinfonietta - diversity, equity and inclusion - on the stage, in their organization and in their programming. Liz and Steph had the joy of connecting with Mei-Ann over our common struggle as artists and the importance of vulnerability and authenticity in music and in life. Listen in on this rare and beautiful dialogue between two orchestral musicians and a world-renowned conductor: the authentic and utterly delightful Mei-Ann Chen!
