PLACE
Severance Music Center This space has a unique combination of sheer physical beauty along with an incredible sound. When you hear the orchestra, there’s a complete fusion of those two things. The top level of the hall is a 10-second walk from my office, so I come here a lot during the day to hear some of the rehearsals, or sometimes I’ll come here during the day when there’s no one else here to just kind of recharge my batteries. There’s something incredibly uplifting about being in this hall and feeling its tradition. It’s a reminder of the accountability of what I do and the importance of what I do while also reminding me that I’m just one small piece of a great history. My job is to make sure that the people after me are able to have this same experience.”
