Mozart is my favorite, maybe because of his music's spirit and eternal freshness. It's a small sample of a much larger village that is still growing. When everything is working well in the orchestra, there is a kind of group dynamic that creates an energy, which hopefully the public feels too. As a child, I was exposed to classical music in the schools as well as at home. Because it has been such an important part of my life, it is something to be shared with today's youth.
Music education is almost non-existent in the schools.
Therefore, I believe the Symphony has a very important role in education. My favorite part is working together with my colleagues and putting something together that we can all be proud of.
