Back in November, we introduced Christopher Korman, the new President of ART's Board of Directors.
Today, I take great pride in introducing the first member of ART's new Advisory Board, award-winning composer and conductor Grant Sturiale. Grant and I worked together early in our careers. I'm thrilled that all these years later, Grant has agreed to join the ART team. —Yoni Marten, Artistic Director
