I am honored to follow Louise Basbas’s incredible 48 years of leadership. A stalwart supporter of musicians around the world, Louise has proved a ballast amidst economic upheavals and generational change. I wish to thank you, our loyal audience, for your incredible support as we enter our new chapter, and I hope you will join me in thanking Louise, who remains our lodestar and Board President.
