#036. At CORONA CHOIR, on Fridays, we traditionally let the choir kid talk. But today we let the founder talk. This is Part 2 of 6 of my dialogue with Micah Hendler, Founder and Artistic Director of the Jerusalem Youth Chorus. Micah and Steve now have something in common. They are both transitioning away from being the center of all things in the organizations they founded. There is a bit of gossip in today's episode. Specifically, its distinct possibility of Steve being divorced by the end of the month, since this is the first time he and his husband Marc are actually living together full time. Consequently, Steve feels a lot like Micah these days bridging two worlds in conflict, because Marc is a good old fashioned New York progressive, and Marc's very sweet 90 year old father in law who they live with is a long time conservative, who doesn't "like Trump," BUT... You'll find out how Steve is brokering the peace in a not overly expansive Brooklyn apartment during this presidential election season. Part 2 starts out with Micah talking about who's directing the Jerusalem Youth Chorus presently, since Micah is serving as the Artistic Director long distance, from Washington DC. Who Micah chose is really significant since he, as the founder and first conductor, is Jewish. Let's just say that the Jerusalem Youth Chorus is practicing what it preaches with its musical leadership choices. Visit the SHOW NOTES for links related to this episode.
