I Have Always Thought Of Music As

Many, Many Years Ago, I Was One Of The Few Conductors Who Talked To The Audience And Now A Lot Of Classical Conductors Have Figured It Out... Otherwise, You Just Get The Back Of Someone's Head Playing Music You Could Hear On A Cd. It's Not Enough Anymore.

I Can Make A Song Up About Anything: Garbage, The Weather, Things In The News.

Music Can Make A Difference. There Is A Global Nature To Music, Which Has The Potential To Bring All People Together. Music Is Truly An International Language, And I Hope To Contribute By Widening Communication As Much As I Can.

I Was Always Drawn To Broadway Musicals, And Obviously Composers Like Gershwin, Rodgers, Berlin And Porter Were Writing Music That I Found Wildly Impressive.

I Have Always Thought Of Music As A Highway With Many Lanes.
