He lives in Decatur, GA with his wife and daughter.QUOTES“I could see orchestras filing for bankruptcy, and it was terrifying. I was under the impression that if you make it, you make it. But if the Philadelphia Orchestra is filing for bankruptcy then no one is safe.”“This is the thing I want to do (orchestra concerts), but if I’m asleep at concerts then what are we doing?”“I was barely living above the poverty line in NYC.”“I had no idea what the real world was like.”“If I got an MBA, that would give me two years to figure it all out.”“I don’t know if I’ve gotten over that my identity is what I do.”“My biggest fear was winning a job, the orchestra was bankrupt, I would have to move or there were no other jobs.”“In the real world you need to be a whole person.”“One big thing I took from music is storytelling.”LINKSAndrew SchwartzInternational Tuba Euphonium Association (ITEA)James Clear ‘Atomic Habits’PODCAST TEAMProduction Support from Molly JenkinsAudio Engineering from Frazer RuddickTheme Music Composed by Danna YunTheme Music Performed by Jasper LyRECORDEDRecorded on 05 July 2021
