Working with such great colleagues day in and day out!
Probably the Saturday night performance of Shostakovich’s Symphony No.1 in 2010. I remember Ann Bilderback playing so cold and sinisterly that I had goosebumps multiple times during that concert.
I am the third oldest of four children. I love fish and have way too many aquariums in my house. I also have a collection of Japanese animation cels.
Most likely an architect or carpenter.
