What is the special significance of the IPO to you/Why did you want to be part of the IPO?
For me it is an incredible workplace! We make music, which I love, on the highest level, and we get the most incredible guest artists of the classical music world specifically, but the world of culture in general as well. Also the offices around the orchestra are doing a phenomenal job. There is so much creativity from both the musicians and the administration. I used to go to the IPO’s concerts already as a little girl with my parents, and for me, the IPO has always been an admirable institution.

The use of Zoom.
