So Much Of Performing Is A Mind

I Like Trying Things, I Am Kind Of Adventurous And I Like Thrill Seeking.

I Open Up My Violin Case Every Day, And Have One Of The Great Creations. It Is Very Inspiring. It Makes You Want To Practice. How Can You Open Up A Case And Look At A Violin That Was Made In 1713 By One Of The Greatest Artists In History And Then Say, "no, I Don't Feel Like Practicing Today."

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

I Love The Outdoor Festival Feeling.

Every Orchestra Is Different. Sometimes, You're Blown Away By A Particular Musician. If I'm Playing The Brahms Concerto, It's Crucial To Have A Great Oboe Player, Because We Work In Tandem.
