When People Ask Me How They Should

Music Has Always Been Transnational; People Pick Up Whatever Interests Them, And Certainly A Lot Of Classical Music Has Absorbed Influences From All Over The World.

The Worst Thing You Can Do Is Say To Yourself, "i Want To Be Just Like Somebody Else." You Have To Absorb Knowledge From Someone Else, But Ultimately You Have To Find Your Own Voice.

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.

We May Be Coming To A New Golden Age Of Instrument Making.
