Season 2, Episode 3: Thankfulness and Togetherness Opus One: OCTAVO

Today, we celebrate the upcoming holiday season in an episode entitled "Thankfulness and Togetherness". In our first segment, we chat with Opus One singers, audience members, and board members and ask them why they are thankful for in-person music making and for community arts organizations like Opus One. Next, we interview Sydney Welch, author of "The Art of Collaboration". She explains the history of artistic cooperation, the Renaissance workshop model, and explains how relinquishing sole proprietorship and working together can produce a better end result. Finally, we talk with Heidi Williamson and Jason Brudereck, representatives of Berks County Community Foundation - a local grant organization that administers over 360 charitable funds and has awarded almost 60 million in grants and scholarships.
