Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor

'If there is one lesson that other orchestras might take from Mr Thomas' success, it is that being a strong conductor is only one part of the job. Another is being a music director: that is, a dynamic cultural leader who can proselytize, educate, reach out to composers, schools, other artistic organizations.'
