Peter Hildebrandt: Bassist and Serial Entrepreneur
Peter is a great example of someone who proves you can balance music and another career. He is a serial entrepreneur who founded and sold companies doing such diverse things as weather forecasting for windsurfers, 3D molecular modeling, traffic signal control, photo capture software, and book publishing. Since he loves the business of making products, he also happily consulted with many companies such as HP, Intel, Roche Pharmaceuticals, Nike, RainBird, Microsoft, and others. And after selling one of his businesses, he ran research and development for a division of Steelcase, the world’s largest office furniture company, for 13 years. But he’s also a musician –playing the string bass (and later the cello) throughout that career and improving his craft. Today he’s a professional bassist in the Atlanta metro area. Finally, fifteen years ago, Peter was able to merge his love for business and music. He started Aria Lights which manufactures professional music stand lights. Today they are considered the gold-standard in symphony orchestras, on Broadway, in pits, and by freelancers throughout North America. I was lucky enough to spend time with him at the International Double Reed Society conference at Miami University and decided that you needed to get to know him too! www.arialights.com peterh@arialights.com www.score.org Book a free discovery call with me!
