If you are in Boston then today and tomorrow she plays with Zander Bartok’s Second Concert and you are crazy if you miss it. "I wish I could score everything for horns." - Richard Wagner.

So pure I find I do not resist her at all, so it immediately permeates me.  I like what she has to say about the music, as well. It would be interesting to hear how she handles Sibelius. I look forward to spending some time with her. Best regards, Paul
