In an ideal board meeting, all members are present and engaged in a structured and vigorous debate of the issues on the agenda. The chair leads the discussion, fine-tuned to the overall mood of the board, and ensures everyone's participation. During planned breaks, chatter fills the boardroom, and when the meeting is over, some members hurry out with their carry-ons in tow while others linger to talk to the chief executive and their board colleagues.
In reality, few board meetings are that perfect. For example, at times, even the most committed members are not able to attend every meeting. This is unfortunate because not only do they miss the meeting but the rest of the board misses their contribution.

By Daniel J. Wakin
• The New York Times • Friday, March 12, 2010
The Metropolitan Museum of Art recently reopened its André Mertens Galleries for Musical Instruments after eight months.

Zambello to Head Glimmerglass Opera
By Kate Taylor
• The Wall Street Journal • Thursday, March 11, 2010
Glimmerglass Opera, the 35-year-old summer opera festival in Cooperstown, N.Y., has named Francesca Zambello as its general and artistic manager, replacing Michael MacLeod. Ms. Zambello, who has worked at many of the world's major opera houses and also directed Disney's The Little Mermaid on Broadway, will likely give the small company, which presents four operas a season, a higher profile.

Vancouver Opera brings in chairman Mao and president Nixon
By Miro Cernetig
• The Vancouver Sun • Thursday, March 11, 2010
At a time when the arts are facing lean times and deep budget cuts, arts leaders might want to follow the strategy of James Wright, head of the Vancouver Opera: If you want big box office, keep the program culturally relevant. That's what he did when the Vancouver Opera wove west coast aboriginal themes into The Magic Flute, a hit in 2007, and a taste of the role first nations would later play during the 2010 Olympics. And that's what Wright is doing once again over the next two weeks, by bringing the contemporary opera, Nixon in China, to Vancouver.

Dispute Heats Up Over Proposed New Fees for Playing Songs on the Radio
By Joseph Plambeck
• The New York Times • Thursday, March 11, 2010
For more than 70 years, royalty payments for air time have flowed to the songwriters and music publishers but not to the musicians or record companies. Now there is a renewed drive to revisit that arrangement, and in recent weeks the volume of the discussion has increased several decibels.
