Episode 40: So you want to start a festival do you?

Episode 40: So you want to start a festival do you?

 

- Inquiries from my Inbox: a violinist from Wisconsin asks, "When you said to practice the same amount every day, does that mean I shouldn't ever do any extra practicing?"

 

- Random Musical Thought: Being "in" the music or being "above" the music.

 

- Denis Brott, artistic director of the Montreal Chamber Music Festival, talks about how he started his festival, his programming ideas, what it takes to run the festival each year, combining Bach and hip-hop (!), and how he founded the Canadian Instrument Bank.
