Composer and conversationalist extraordinaire Julian Grant introduces W. A. Mozart’s and Derrick Wang’s operatic takes on workplace conflict with his talk "Divas and Justices." He relishes the juxtaposition of the battling duos in Mozart's opera The Impresario and Wang's Scalia/Ginsburg, and brings his own insights as an opera composer to the table.
