I had a blast reconnecting with my old friend Tracy Friedlander!

Tracy is the host of Crushing Classical, a new podcast about creating a career you love as a classical musician in today's world. I was fortunate to be one of her first guests!

Tracy also writes regularly on her Crushing Classical Facebook page, and she’s in the process of writing a book as well.

Tracy and I used to play together in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago nearly 20 years ago, and it has been a lot of fun reconnecting with her through the podcasting world.

We talk about her motivation for launching this podcast and her vision for the show going forward. She’s had some wonderful guests on so far, and I can’t wait to see where she goes from here.

Be sure to subscribe to her show in iTunes and follow her Facebook page!
