Conducting was just something that happened by fluke.

I realized that the European dogma is not necessarily the only way to look at things.

Conducting was just something that happened by fluke.

We're not talking about an elite art form from the price point of view. We have a building in L.A. that is incredibly open, exciting, inviting, and all that, and there's no reason for this music not to be part of everybody's everyday life.

Our audience, it has been a more difficult process for classical music audiences around the world, and I'm not completely certain why.

This conducting thing happened. In 1983 I was sucked into this international career, which was a very scary experience.

The Northern idea of form is more of a process. The various units of the form overlap. You can't tell where some things stop and new things start. This is typical of Sibelius.
