 Nick
Webster's involvement with the
Harvard Glee Club as singer, manager
and postgraduate manager of a nine
week tour to the Far East in 1961
led to study with the famed French
pedagogue, Nadia Boulanger, and to a

which concluded with 15 years as CEO
of the New York Philharmonic from
1975 to 1990. He worked closely with
Music Directors Leonard Bernstein,

About the TSO...
The Tulsa Symphony Orchestra employs professional
musicians with the focused, collective, and ongoing
aim of presenting all kinds of music of the highest
quality. The TSO functions throughout the year, and
is comprised of self-governing “executive
musicians”—individuals who perform masterful music
and execute the many decisions involved in
sustaining a major orchestra. With a variety of
performances and concerts, in-school events,
community-engagement programs, classroom lessons,
collaborative master classes, and other such
appearances, the TSO intends to invigorate and
broaden arts education all across the City of Tulsa
and, further, the State of Oklahoma. Rebuilding and
strengthening the musical arts infrastructure of
this city and its environs will remain a key concern
and core value of the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra.
