Decentralized Management
Management theory experts call it centralized management. Political historians might unflatteringly call it a dictatorship. Musicians simply use the word conductor. There are advantages to having a centralized authority figure, but the members of the always conductorless Orpheus Chamber Orchestra like to look at the flip side. They're empowered to make more musical decisions themselves. Everyone is an equal. And they all have to know the music inside and out. We'll hear the decentralized Orpheus Chamber Orchestra in Beethoven's Second Symphony.
