Every Orchestra Is Different. Sometimes, You're Blown

There's Nothing More Frustrating Than Seeing A Conductor Say, 'play Softer,' As They're Waving Their Hands In Huge Gestures.

There Are Days That I Get Neurotic With The Instrument [violin]. Every Little Adjustment Will Change The Balance For Good Or For Bad. It's Kind Of A Miracle, The Way The Whole Thing Works As An Acoustical Whole, So Perfectly Balanced That Any Little Thing Will - Which Also Means The Weather, The Humidity.

I Like Working With Kids Because I Enjoy Seeing The Looks On Their Faces And, It's Kind Of Selfish, I Want A Future Audience.

There Are Some Days I Take My Violin Out And It Feels Dreadful, Like Nothing Is Responding, And I Want To Sell It And Get Rid Of It. And The Next Day Suddenly The Skies Open Up And The Sound Is Glorious Again. So It's Like A Relationship: There Are Good Days And Bad Days.

I Love The Outdoor Festival Feeling.
