What made you want to be a musician?

As a child, I picked up any musical instrument I could lay my hands on and played or invented tunes. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t a musician.

Favorite genre of music?

Baroque, especially Bach.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not rehearsing or performing?

Listening to music, singing, playing in all sorts of groups, bird-watching, observing nature, talking with friends, reading, meditating.

What’s it like to perform onstage with an orchestra?

It’s like being part of an organism.

Best advice you’ve ever received?

Be alert! (My father’s admonition when I left home.)
