Despite being the former digital marketing intern at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Jenn German does not like Mozart. Beethoven could've totally beaten him up. Also she has an arts management graduate degree from American University, but this changes nothing.

Seems pretty accurate to me! And some good points in your linked rant about school orchestras vs. marching bands. I love both, but I guess not everyone does (or sees the usefulness of both)?
Oh, I see the merits of both – but it seems so weird to me that we’ve turned so FULLY separatist! Shouldn’t string/marching band groups be offshoots and full orchestral music be the main event, as opposed to the other way around?
