We had the good fortune of connecting with Tamara Dworetz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I enjoy working with professional, community and youth orchestras.
Conductors are often pigeonholed as either professional OR educational OR community OR pops conductors, but I believe in versatility and have worked really hard to gain different skill sets to be effective in different areas. Recently I conducted my first Nutcracker with the Atlanta Ballet and will be conducting Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring for one performance coming up, and this is another new arena I’m excited to explore. Working with different kinds of groups gives different kinds of gratifications, and I think also makes me more well-rounded as an artist and leader.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We’d bar hop back and forth between Kimball House, The S.O.S. Tiki Bar and The Brick Store Pub in Decatur.

Definitely a tour of Buford Highway including Northern China Eatery, Woo Nam Jeong (StoneBowl House) and Tea Leaf and Creamery for dessert.
