Arrived last night in 🇰🇷 and turned on my phone to find this invite to jump in! Honored to now be giving a coincidental Brahms violin festival this week in S. Korea: Concerto tonight and tomorrow, sonatas May 11 & 12. Wishing 손열음 / Yeoleum Son a speedy recovery.

🇰🇷 South Korea! 🇰🇷 Brahms recitals this week, May 11&12!

Not Gustavo himself stepping in to save the day! 🎉 This will be our first time working together in a concert hall or on a subscription series (the only other time was at the Vatican).

End of the night.

#100daysofpractice Day 69: going more and more off script, separating from the printed page a bit at a time

#100daysofpractice Days 65-68

65: picking up where I left off yesterday, after listening to my practice recordings
66: 3+ hours of mental practice in transit.
67: memorizing pattern recognition feels a bit like sudoku.
68: timing + accuracy - the score is only a reference

#100daysofpractice Days 61-64

Day 61: Backstage practice/PT video
62: intentional day off / PT
63: 5-minute sessions
64: making practice recordings for mental study; all notes have to be aurally recognizable, in tune enough that someone could dictate the music accurately
