Nuts and Eccentrics Wanted by David Srebnik Some orchestras stake their reputation and trademark on a certain sound. Others rely on their celebrity conductor.

The Budapest Orchestra uses its own version of "Management 101" to maintain and build orchestral excellence. Find out more about how they think, work and make music here.
