How long have you been the choir’s general manager?
Petersen: I’ve been doing it since March of 2005. I’ve been stage managing since the time when David Wilson was the conductor of the choir, which was back in the 70s. Overall, I’ve been a member of choir for 39 years.
What do you do in your job as general manager?
Petersen: The primary responsibility is to make sure that everything that the choir does goes smoothly. Politicians have their advance men, and that’s what this job involves. You have to make sure that the choir has a rehearsal space. You have to make sure that there are break-out rooms so that sections of the choir can rehearse. I can delegate some of these tasks, but it’s my responsibility to make sure that it’s taken care of.
