My job as an educator is to try as best I can to help them discover their own voices and their own ways of making music, whether it would be my exact way or not. I hope that I can help them understand the great things about our musical past that need to be preserved, and at the same time, open their minds just a little bit to the rich variety of human experience that they can express through music. I want them to have as rewarding a life in music as I’ve had so far.
Writer and Speaker on Music
'To think about the music and absorb the composer's world--that's what I want to do...I became a conductor because I passionately believe that music changes people. You should walk out of a concert a different person than when you came in. That's the goal.'
