Wanted: Arts Leader with Experience - Or Youth?

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Some orchestras, theaters and museums select their leaders with a bias towards elder statesmen. Others find better chemistry with young blood. In the wake of the Chicago Symphony's recent hiring of 66-year-old Riccardo Muti as its next music director, we debate whether veterans or rookies can lead the arts into the future. Also on the show: Live music from Pacha Massive, a Bronx-based duo of Dominican-born writer/producer Nova and Columbian-born bassist Maya.
