Alana Wiesing A Millennial Musician

Percussionist, educator, and principal timpanist of the Tucson Symphony Alana Wiesing shares her story of growing up in Phoenix, Arizona, going to school at Indiana University and then winning a job in her home-state hours from where she grew up, a dream job for her.  We talk about her insights into auditions, mental health, work-life balance and she gives a mini-masterclass on what the timpani are and how the timpani work.  Go follow Alana on all platforms and as well as the Tucson Symphony and her non-profit, the Network for Diversity in Concert Percussion.
