Alvin shares his journey from studying Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard to becoming the music director on the national tour of "Dreamgirls", highlighting the moments where preparation met opportunity. Join us in this conversation, as Alvin shares how he is now cultivating the next generation of musicians through his work at MUSE and BMEP while creating opportunities for more inclusivity in the Broadway pit.
