Performance with renowned conductor, Benjamin Zander

Aurelia was recently invited to perform in front of hundreds of people with the famed conductor, Benjamin Zander.  This was such a special opportunity for her because the entire audience was composed of non-musicians.  No one was there to hear her or her Rococo or Bach.  Instead, people were coming to learn about life and the decisions that come with it, that we face every single day.

She was able to perform right in front of people, watch their reactions to changes in Bach, to understanding the music, and she loved it.  It’s so important to spread classical music around the world, everywhere we go- not just to the audiences we already have.

This was the first time she has performed for such a huge audience like this and she came away exhausted and inspired.  I asked her why she felt so tired, and she said that felt a need to convince every person in the audience to listen to some classical music, to convince them that it’s not boring.

Sometimes, as musicians, we might go along our daily life, performing here, teaching there, but we need to keep our eye on the diamond,  giving this gift to others.
