Zarin Mehta

This week, Alec talks with Zarin Mehta who retired as president and executive director of the New York Philharmonic at the end of this past season. Mehta, an accountant by trade, grew up in 1940’s Bombay before it became the booming city of Mumbai. In Mehta’s memory, Bombay was more like a colonial fishing village. Mehta talks with Alec about his father, who founded the Bombay Symphony Orchestra, his brother Zubin, and the realities of running a major arts organization in New York.  As Mehta states, “Look, in the United States one does not look to the state for support of the arts.”  Alec also talks with Carmen Mehta, Zarin Mehta's wife, and she offers her own insights into Mehta’s success.
