Grammy® Award-winner Jan Karlin is the founding executive director of the Los Angeles International New Music Festival, Summer Festival at The Huntington Library, and Southwest Chamber Music, an ensemble based in southern California. She currently serves as the first American artistic advisor to Vietnam following her production of the largest cultural exchange in history between the two countries for the U.S. Department of State. What's Next? Creativity in the Age of Entertainment is a memoir of her career as a musician, producer, educator, entrepreneur and international cultural leader. It details the interconnected causes of the creativity crisis that exists today where a focus on entertainment has confused and compromised our society. Ms. Karlin shares her experiences with creative people and artistic projects, demonstrating how inspiration and imagination coexist across various disciplines. She explores our current Age of Entertainment and how our culture discourages creativity in many fields.

Innovative ideas that led to Grammy Awards and international projects provide a background of program and leadership development. Ms. Karlin illustrates her views about the future of arts education and the music business through successful programs around the country. Finally, suggestions are offered to assist creativity development in the arts, business, education and our personal lives toward a new Age of Creativity.
