MONDAY BYTES — May 25, 2015
Happy launch of summer! And in honor of Memorial Day, here’s a thought about artists’ legacies.
Wisdom for the week from cellist/composer Erik Friedlander: “It’s not your skill level, it’s how much you communicate. It’s how much you express that the audience really wants to hear. They come to hear you be real.”
This is from a terrific New Music Box interview by Molly Sheridan featuring clips of his music and more. Erik talks about the need we all have to turn off our inner censors so we can get out of our own way and be present in the moment. Check it out: Erik Friedlander: Stories Without Words.
Question for the week: What tools have worked for you to get out of your own way so you can bring your complete self to your work?
As always, I’d LOVE to hear what’s been working for you!
Reminder: on Tues. June 2, I’m presenting a First Tuesday workshop in NYC for Chamber Music America on the topic, “How to Engineer Your Next Career Breakthrough.” If you’ll be in NYC then, it would be great to see you there! If not, perhaps you’d like to tune in to the live streaming on the CMA site, details HERE.
For info on working with me: details are HERE.
