A symphony orchestra thrives under the centralized leadership of a conductor, while virtuoso soloists are used to calling their own shots. But chamber music—in which a small group of musicians combine their individual parts into an organic whole without the top-down leadership of a conductor—presents truly unique organizational strategies for accomplishing creative work as a team. In this workshop we explore the building blocks of effective collaboration through the lens of chamber music, discussing selecting a great team, rules of engagement, shared leadership, flexible conversational models, and engaging external partners.
