Robert Mann was the founding member of The Juilliard String Quartet and musical giant in some of the world's greatest concert halls over the past 70+ years. Before his death at 97 in 2018, Mr. Mann completed his autobiography  A PASSIONATE JOURNEY: A Memoir which offers lessons in leadership through his remarkable career as co-founder and first violin of The Juilliard String Quartet. Perhaps nobody knew Mr. Mann better than his son Nicholas who followed in his father's footsteps. Professor Nicholas Mann is co-chair of Manhattan School of Music’s string department and has been a Juilliard faculty member since 2002. He is a founding member of the Mendelssohn String Quartet and he performs widely as a soloist and chamber musician. In today’s interview with us, Nicholas shares some of his favorite memories of his father, the biggest challenge his father faced and how he grew through it, and powerful leadership and collaboration lessons you can apply in both your personal and professional life. Key Takeaways  A string quartet is one of the most complicated and intense partnerships. You have to pick your battles. It’s easy to get upset over differences, but ask yourself, “Is it really worth fighting over?” One of the rules in a quartet is that you must listen to the ideas, and then try to make them work. It is surprising how often you can change your mind, if you are really open to a new idea. You can disagree in a quartet but you have to have respect for each other. That’s the basis for success. While you will need to comprise with your colleagues, there are certain things you don’t comprise. Certain core values that are the line you will not cross. You must know what they are and stay true to them. In terms of teaching and leading others, it’s great to have a talented student but mostly you want to have someone open to learning.

283: Nicholas Mann: Legacy Lessons From A Classical Music Giant

In today's episode, we talk to violinist Nicholas Mann, who is the Chair of the Manhattan School of Music String Department and a Juilliard Faculty member. We talk about the legacy of his late father, 4-time GRAMMY winner and Juilliard String Quartet Founder, Robert Mann and his recently released posthumous memoir, “A Passionate Journey”! Over a 50 year period, Robert Mann led the Juilliard String Quartet playing almost 6,000 performances all over the world, scooping up 4 GRAMMYs and sharing their distinctive sound with such notable figures such as Glenn Gould, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein and even Albert Einstein. His incredible career is chronicled in “A Passionate Journey: A memoir” also written by Robert Mann and available for purchase. “A Passionate Journey” is a collection of both spoken and written words in the form of essays, letters, lectures, and interviews from various times in his life, offering an engrossing glimpse into a life filled with musical milestones and the mind of a musical giant. I am joined again by my good friend Christopher Dzengelewski and we chat to Nicholas about his father's incredible musical legacy!
