The first episode is about Maestro Nance and his journey to create Heartland Sings.
I have devoted most of my professional career to the creative process as an artist, a performer, a teacher, a spiritual leader, an arts advocate, and an entrepreneur. My goal is to make it possible for everyone in my midst to have access to the arts so they might experience the life-enhancing benefits of the creative process. My objectives include 1) advocating for career artists who make our community culturally unique and economically viable by attracting businesses, and the creative class, and encouraging investment in the community; 2) using my entrepreneurial skills to create new opportunities for growing the arts industry, balancing earned income and philanthropy and building solid relationships with clients and donors; and 3) to align myself and my clients with colleagues who are more creative, intelligent and passionate than am I. This has helped me stay grounded, less ego-centric (humble), and ever learning new things. (https://maestronance.com)
