Through all of my changing childhood interests, music has been my constant companion.
While dreaming of becoming a tractor or bus driver, I knew that I loved Johann Sebastian Bach. I knew that Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky made me dance around our living room. I knew that I loved music. I don¡¯t think that I ever imagined that one day I would play in Carnegie Hall, live in New York City, play on an instrument made in the 1600¡¯s, jet set around the world every week¡¦
I don¡¯t think I could have ever dreamed those things up at that age. But I did know that music was a very important part of my life.
