"Leonard Stone, former Executive Director of the Florida Orchestra, spent over 40 years as an executive director in the symphony industry in both Canada and the U.S. The interview begins with Mr. Stone discussing the influences in his Canadian childhood that led to his involvement in music. He then discusses his progression to executive director positions at various venues, and several anecdotes of notable and famous performers. Other discussions touch on changes in technology and cultural attributes that have altered the symphony industry, difficulties with major and medium-sized symphonies serving fragmented geographical areas, and some of the other financial and collaborative challenges of today's symphony orchestras." . . . . . . . .
