Season 4, Episode 6

We did it! Sound Expertise recorded its first-ever live episode at the American Musicological Society conference in Chicago. It was a super-fun event with a raucous crowd. Please enjoy this thoughtful conversation with Jonathan Bailey Holland, dean of Northwestern’s Bienen School of Music, about his path as a composer and what it means to oversee a music school at a transformative moment.

Jonathan Bailey Holland is dean and Kay Davis Professor of Music at Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music.
