Allison Ross is a violin player and classical musician based in Kansas where she performs with several orchestras and symphonies. Since the COVID-19 pandemic musicians have faced many challenges, and Allison broke the silence when the restrictions from one of her orchestras made it so challenging to be an orchestra performer that she decided that it was better to not play at all. She is also a music professor, gives private lessons, and is a big advocate for independent musicians to have multiple streams of revenue. In this conversation, we discuss her story with her orchestra, side hustles, making a living as a classical musician, her involvement with the Libertarian Party of Kansas, and much more.
