The Magic of Synchronicity as a Leader: In Conversation with Elizabeth Sobol, President & CEO of Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Our guest on the Classical Post podcast today is Elizabeth Sobol, president and CEO of Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Upstate New York. The venue is most notably the summer home to the Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York City Ballet. It also presents Live Nation concerts that feature the likes of Josh Groban and the Dave Matthews Band. You will find our conversation insightful simply because of Elizabeth’s wealth of experience. She spent three decades at IMG Artists managing careers of glossy names like Itzhak Perlman, Joshua Bell, Renee Fleming, James Galway, Evgeny Kissin, and Kiri Te Kanawa. She also was most recently president and CEO of Universal Music Classics immediately prior to now leading Saratoga Performing Arts Center (or SPAC for short). Listen to our discussion on the magic of synchronicity as a leader; how meditation in the morning and boxing at night helps to sustain well-being; and the important work of the Philadelphia Orchestra programming the works of Florence Price. — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Classical Post® is created and produced by ⁠Gold Sound Media⁠® LLC, a New York-based marketing agency for the performing arts industry.
