Somehow, my Boston area music-writer buddy A.Z. Madonna of the Boston Globe and I had a long-distance mind meld, resulting in two articles about music librarians in two different publications. A.Z. focussed on the music librarians of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I spoke with Margo Kieser, principal librarian of the San Francisco Symphony, Carrie Wieck, of the San Francisco Opera, and Drew Ford, of more small orchestras than I can believe. They were all wonderful to chat with and I am grateful to each of them and their organizations for their help.
When I spotted A.Z.'s article, I forwarded the link to my editors and immediately realized that I couldn't read it until I had filed my own article. I am just getting to it, so I will note that any similarities are entirely coincidental.
Here they are:
- A.Z. Madonna, Boston Globe
- Lisa Hirsch, SFCV

Kudos, Lisa! Very nicely done.
Thank you, Tod, and thank you for connecting me with Drew! It was a joy to interview him (and Carrie and Margo).
