This week, San Francisco-based classical music administrative consultant Aubrey Bergauer joins me to talk about the business structures behind the orchestras we see on stage and hear on recordings, how the pandemic has effected these organizations, and what recovery might look like. She also chose to highlight the music of a number of local California artists, including Gabriela Lena Frank, Lara Downes, Mason Bates, and the San Francisco Symphony. Enjoy!
