And John, for the people that don't know you, can you give us just a little bit of background about who you are, what your musical experiences are, and where you're at today?

Okay.

Absolutely.

Hi, everyone.

My name is John Porter.

I'm the executive and artistic director of the North Texas Symphony Orchestra Association, which is based in DFW.

Um, as far as background goes, my story is actually a little bit, uh, unique, I think, in that I do not have a degree in music.

Yeah.
