In this episode our new podcast host, Kelly Kasle, talks to rock star flutist Sarah Robinson. They discuss how Sarah’s original goals changed over time because of life obstacles (like the 2008 Financial Crisis), as well as career challenges presented by the classical music industry. She stresses to young classical musicians the importance of expanding your concept of an entertaining show.
