Director's Note

Bringing theatre ingredients (staging, choreography, character development and storytelling) to this talented group of musicians has been a career highlight. Directing this concert featuring world-class string players for a PBS television special and subsequent DVD release while having the opportunity to witness them play with such virtuosity was an unforgettable emotional experience.
