Productivity and Time Management Tips with Kalena Bovell

Happy New Year, and I am super excited about today's episode, as I'll be speaking with one of my role models, conductor Kalena Bovell. For the very first show of 2022, Kalena will be talking to us about time management skills, also sharing with us her experience of preparing and studying for her BBC Proms debut. I hope you're as excited as I am recording this episode. Panamanian American conductor Kalena Bovell wields a distinctive voice as a maestra, speaker and poet. Having recently led the Chineke! Orchestra in her BBC Proms debut, Bovell's twin focus on musical excellence and community engagement led to Connecticut's Channel 3 News praising her as "one of the brightest stars in the world of classical music." As guest conductor, she has worked with the Hartford Opera Theatre, New Britain symphony and a particularly memorable performance, leading Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr. with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. Now with the MSO full time as its Assistant Conductor, Bovell also leads the Memphis Youth Symphony. Among other achievements, she was previously named a finalist for the Taki Alsop Conducting Fellowship, a recognition given to talented female leaders in the conducting field. For all show notes and transcripts, check out my website: chaowenting.com/podcast, and please leave a review and subscribe if you are loving the show!All About Chaowen Ting
