Building Walt Disney Concert Hall was a rewarding challenge for all involved. There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen, and the extremely high visibility of the project created an expected high level of anxiety. Sean was a key reason I always saw the process as smooth and manageable: His ability to provide me with information, guidance and details in a timely fashion was paramount in successfully integrating the end user into a complex web of construction. The Philharmonic was lucky to have Sean as the project manager for our new home, and we will always be grateful for his help.
During the construction of the music library, we faced some major obstacles. However, in every case, Sean facilitated the resolution effectively and amiably to the satisfaction of all parties. My encounters with Sean were always pleasant and met with the utmost professionalism. The building of this most unique hall was steered by a talented and devoted project management group. The successful completion and outstanding results were recognized and celebrated by many worldwide.
