Go on and Do Something

Other people don’t get it.  They don’t understand why you don’t just go get a normal job.  Take the usual auditions. Use what’s already there. But you have a hard time accepting that this is it.  The same old institutions are the best we can do. You believe there’s something better out there. You believe with some work you have something to contribute.  You see the lines connecting everything in the classical music ecosystem. So, contribute. Cultivate trust. Connect people. Add to/ reshape/ challenge the status quo.  Other people might not get it, but you do. So go on and do something. ​
