“I am extremely excited to be playing with my colleagues on this series. I've known all three of them for a long time, and in different ways. David Speltz and I studied with the same teacher, and I've known him since I was 16. We've also taught together for decades at the Idyllwild Arts Summer Program. Eugene Friesen and I shared a stand together in the American Youth Symphony (conducted by the great Mehli Mehta) back in the mid '70s, and Giovanna Moraga was my student and is now one of my most esteemed colleagues. This series of concerts will be pure joy!”
