In the early 70’s I saw the name Leontyne Price on the Nashville Symphony schedule but had no idea that she was an internationally acclaimed soprano. During the rehearsal she did not sing in full voice and I thought she was good but nothing more. Then the concert came and she was singing in full voice and that’s when I felt it. The sound of her vice entered my body and I felt all of me resonate. It was as if my body became her resonating chamber. I literally felt touched by the sound of her voice. From that moment on I wanted the sound of my violin to have the same effect on anyone listening to me, to resonate as I had. This became my goal as a violinist.
