I originally thought narrating the Arnold Schoenberg “Kol Nidre” would be difficult but not very rewarding. How wrong can a man be? As I was being coached in the work by Maestro Ricardo Muti I realized what a privilege it is to simply be in the presence of this amazing man. Today, was my first rehearsal with the orchestra and chorus together. I sit between the oboe and flute and am transported to musical heaven! Wow, can’t come down.
