As the music director of the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra and a former adviser to the Georgia Council for the Arts, Thomas Anderson knows a bit about trying to balance a budget on a shoestring.
'I've learned that more groups get in trouble from bad administration than bad music,' he says.
That's where the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund can help. Now in its 13th year, the fund will distribute $500,000 today to nonprofit companies in dire need of staff development and debt reduction.
As one of nine groups receiving checks at a ceremony at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, the DeKalb Symphony will get $70,000 over a two-year period to hire an executive director. (Anderson has been handling the job on an interim basis.) "
