Artist profile: Mitchell Kahn balances music, profession

Dr. Mitchell Kahn is in his fifth year as general director of Skagit Opera and is on the board of directors of Bellingham Festival of Music. He鈥檚 the kind of person who fits the adage: 鈥淎sk a busy person鈥 to do something.

When asked how he balances everything in his life, he answer, 鈥淗ow do I manage to do so much? I may be the only doctor in Bellingham who doesn鈥檛 play golf, doesn鈥檛 boat and hasn鈥檛 had cable TV in years. I spend about two minutes a day commuting (15 minutes if I bike). Most importantly, I have a very understanding and supportive wife, and excellent office staff.鈥
