  • Nicholas McGegan: the JOY of Creativity in Music
    Dec 4 2025

    Sometimes on this podcast it's just a pleasure to listen to a great artist talk about the art!

    An “expert in 18th-century style” (The New Yorker), Nicholas McGegan is in his sixth decade on the podium. Following a 34-year tenure as Music Director of Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale, he is now Music Director Emeritus. He is also Principal Guest Conductor of Hungary’s Capella Savaria.

    McGegan’s approach — intelligent, infused with joy, and never dogmatic — has led to engagements with many of the world’s major orchestras, including those of Cleveland, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Sydney, London's Royal Opera House, and the Royal Concertgebouw; regular collaborations with choreographer Mark Morris; and appearances at the BBC Proms and the Edinburgh International Festival.

    His extensive discography includes more than 100 releases spanning five decades, including more than 40 with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale, and more than 20 with Capella Savaria. McGegan's recordings have garnered two Gramophone Awards and two GRAMMY nominations.

    He was made an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) “for services to music overseas.” McGegan is committed to the next generation of musicians, frequently conducting and coaching students in regular engagements at Yale, Juilliard, Harvard, the Colburn School, Aspen Music Festival, and more.

  • Happiest Musician Minisode: Action is Faster than Agony
    Nov 20 2025

    I just accomplished a task I've been putting off for three weeks. It took five minutes.

    But over the last three weeks, my Happiest Musician Visibility Lab participants have been KNOCKING IT OUT OF THE PARK in terms of their action taking.

    What can we learn from this?

  • Should You Negotiate for a Gig?
    Nov 6 2025

    What if we normalized paying musicians for their expertise and professionalism? What if we normalized asking for the fee we need? This is not ALWAYS possible, and not ALWAYS advisable - but if you've never thought about it, let's think!
