How do you see your role as a teacher, performer, and a music administrator in terms of helping shape young talent and preparing them for what lies ahead?

It's a great question.

When I think back to my time in the St. Lawrence Quartet, we all had different skills that we developed or inherently had outside of playing in the quartet.

Our first violinist was extremely gifted at speaking from the stage and did a lot of that.

Marina, our cellist, took care of travel for the quartet.

Leslie Robertson, our violist, did all sorts of business administration and helped create... and run the summer seminar at Stanford when we were there.

Somehow I would say the career strategy or a lot of the career strategy, the work with management somehow found its way to me or I found its way to that work.

what are your hopes and dreams to move this school further, further into uncharted territory? Or is it uncharted territory?
