Jeffrey Haydon, President and CEO of Ravinia Festival
About this episode
Jeffrey Haydon discusses his leadership experiences at various music festivals and the unique cultural significance of these events.
A festival lasts only a few weeks or months each year, but the work of leading one never stops. Jeffrey Haydon has spent his career at the helm of some of the country's most respected music festivals, including Ojai, Caramoor, and now Ravinia Festival, where he serves as President and CEO. Drawing on a background that bridges music and business, he has led major capital projects, expanded educational and community programs, and navigated moments of organizational transformation. In this episode, Jeffrey reflects on what makes festivals such distinctive cultural institutions; the leadership lessons he's learned across three decades in arts management; and how Ravinia continues to balance its rich classical legacy with new audiences, artists, and ideas. ----- LINKS Ravinia Festival: https://www.ravinia.org/ Jim Collins: https://www.jimcollins.com/index.html
