You Must Have A Reason To Be

Passion Is One Great Force That Unleashes Creativity, Because If You're Passionate About Something, Then You're More Willing To Take Risks.

I Think One Of The Great Things About Being A Musician Is That You Never Stop Learning.

But An Innovation, To Grow Organically From Within, Has To Be Based On An Intact Tradition, So Our Idea Is To Bring Together Musicians Who Represent All These Traditions, In Workshops, Festivals, And Concerts, To See How We Can Connect With Each Other In Music.

I Remember When I Was Growing Up. My Great Wish Was To Understand Who I Was And How I Fit In The World.

My Teacher, My Great Cello Teacher Leonard Rose, Was Such A Great Cellist, And Nurturing Man, Very Patient. But I Grew Up Not Only Admiring Him, But Obviously Casals, Rostrotovich, Jacqueline Du Pre, And Many Others, Including Many Of My Peers And Contemporaries.
