Nishat KhanFair Pay... or Foul Play?
Executive pay is a hot-button issue in the corporate world but the debate over compensation is playing out in the arts arena as well. We look at the disparity in salaries between top arts executives and rank-and-file musicians -- and whether that's even a problem. Joining us is Wall Street Journal reporter Jacob Hale Russell, and with Jesse Rosen, vice president and chief program officer of the American Symphony Orchestra League. Also: Sitar virtuoso Nishat Khan joins us to share the classical music of India – a music that’s been in his family for some 400 years.

A conversation with Wall Street Journal reporter Jacob Hale Russell, and the American Symphony Orchestra League's Jesse Rosen.
