Nathan Platte for their unfaltering support during my entire writing process. I could not have done it without their help and encouragement. Thank you to Dr. David Puderbaugh's support, and to the Graduate College for the Ballard and Seashore Fellowship and Summer Fellowships. My sincerest gratitude to my interviewees and to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra social media personnel for taking the time to speak with me. I also thank my friends, especially "The Gang," family, and colleagues who were there for me, rain or shine.
