Show Notes

"Nobody is broken. It’s about your expectations for the quality of your life. How do I want to feel? How do I think I deserve to feel? I just want to be able to be me and be as comfortable and as happy as I possibly can. And that’s what I wish for everybody." - Dr. Mallory Thompson

Dr. Mallory Thompson is director of bands, professor of music, coordinator of the conducting program, and holds the John W. Beattie Chair of Music at Northwestern University. She conducts the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, teaches undergraduate and graduate conducting, and administers all aspects of the band program.
