Live podcast recording event showcases expert research into the art program’s success during the pandemic

Soneshein, the Henry Gardiner Symonds Professor of Management in Organizational Behavior at Rice Business, published research on how the Houston Symphony was able to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic and get “jazzy” with their content. The podcast interview will cover the research and discuss how organizations can innovate their way out of a crisis and feature a performance by the symphony’s quartet.
