## Caption

"My love and appreciation for new music makes my role at ACO completely justifiable for me. I always remind people that I decided to transition away from my career as an orchestral bassoonist back in 2016 because my values and vision for the orchestral field didn’t match what I was doing professionally, concert after concert. As a member of the ACO team, I get to fully entrench myself within conversations and collaborations that reinforce the unique value and necessity of new music, and more importantly, living composers. As I continue to “get my sea legs” when it comes to aspects of arts administration that I find new or challenging, I’m fueled by knowing that new music and its composers aren’t just an aspect of my work, but the center of my work." 5 questions to @garrettmcqueen!
