You Must Have A Reason To Be

One Of The Things I Love About Music Is Live Performance.

The Role Of The Musician Is To Go From Concept To Full Execution. Put Another Way, It's To Go From Understanding The Content Of Something To Really Learning How To Communicate It And Make Sure It's Well-received And Lives In Somebody Else.

In Performance, We Have A Greater Purpose. The Greater Purpose Is That We're Communing Together, And We Want This Moment To Be Really Special For All Of Us. Because Otherwise, Why Bother To Have Come At All? It's Not About Proving Anything. It's About Sharing Something.

There Are Limits To How Much Sound A Cello Can Make. That's Part Of The Framing Of Acoustical Instruments. Finding What Those Limits Might Be, And Then Trying To Suggest Perhaps Even The Illusion Of Going Beyond Is Part Of That Kind Of Effort.

When We Enlarge Our View Of The World, We Deepen Our Understanding Of Our Own Lives.
