“It is so rare that we are able to sit down and think deeply with our contemporaries about issues relating to our business. This roundtable discussion served as an opportunity to open up a dialogue for learning and collaboration across our industry,” says Jessica Danial, Skaneateles Festival board member and Janklow Program student.

Participants included Marcia White, president and executive director of Saratoga Performing Arts Center; Linda Chesis, artistic director of Cooperstown Summer Music Festival; Alexander Lombard, founder president and CEO of Lake George Music Festival; Christopher Powell, director of administration and community engagement of the Glimmerglass Festival; Debra Bell, marketing director of the Glimmerglass Festival; Susan Mark, executive director of the Skaneateles Festival; Brian Mitchell, managing director of Kingston Chamber Music Festival; and Maria Todaro, executive director of Phoenicia International Festival of The Voice.

The roundtable discussion was facilitated by Mark Nerenhausen who serves as both founding director and professor of practice of the Janklow Arts Leadership Program. He has more than two decades of professional arts administration experience.

Jessica Danial, Skaneateles Festival board member, organized the event after observing the need for cross collaboration between national music festivals.
