Dan underwent a “seismic shift” in perspective during the throes of finishing his MM in orchestral performance. After graduation, he stowed away his trumpet…and plans for a performance career.
But after a few years, the musical itch resurfaced.
He started playing and teaching private lessons again for fun. For work, he landed a general manager position at a small symphony.
And so Dan’s shift to the fundraising and development side of the fine arts began.
Since then, he’s worked for several major musical institutions, including the Cleveland Orchestra, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and San Francisco Symphony.
Making these leaps required constant learning, acting on tough feedback, and sacrifice. Luckily for us, Dan shares his tips for picking up the skills and mindset shifts to make big changes and reach the executive level.
And he doesn’t shy away from discussing his struggles with work’s and music’s role in his life.
