Description

I am a musician. I have known that simple fact since my 7th birthday, when I wrapped my arms around the little guitar that had been a gift from my father, breathed the dusky fragrance of wood and varnish and touched the grainy fingerboard that would become my personal road to enchantment. Despite challenges, I have never had one moment of regret about that calling, nor a second of doubt about the vital role that music plays in the world around us. As a conductor, I have witnessed thousands of audiences -- literally millions of listeners -- come to the concert hall and leave, two hours later, in a place they would never have been able to imagine when they arrived, frazzled and distracted, earlier that evening.
