Musical Marvel Financial Crossroads

My guest Thomas Stumpf is a musical marvel. He is on the faculty of Tufts University and has previously held academic positions at Boston University and the New England Conservatory. Thomas has composed and recorded a wide range of classical pieces, both as a solo performer and as a frequent collaborator with musicians around the world.
But in his forties, Thomas reached a personal crossroad when he decided to move away from an ivory tower college position to engage as a full-time music director for a church with an extraordinary musical tradition. After two decades of engaging that community with inspiring musical leadership, Thomas again faced a crossroad by moving beyond his comfort level to expand his musical reach.
