Michael Tilson Thomas on a Life in the Arts

On June 29, CBS News Sunday Morning profiled conductor and composer Michael Tilson Thomas, who recently retired from performing: “For more than half a century, conductor-composer Michael Tilson Thomas has graced the stages of concert halls with a swashbuckling style. Earlier this year, Thomas led the San Francisco Symphony in his last scheduled conducting performance due to the return of his glioblastoma—an aggressive brain tumor. He talks with ‘60 Minutes’ correspondent Lesley Stahl about how he was changed by conducting for the first time in junior high school, and about living a life in the arts.”
