Envigorate.

Question.
I’ve performed many concerts where folks have questioned what the role of a viola is. They’ve asked what I’m “doing” with music. The answers are never clear, and I always end up asking myself… What is it I’m not doing with music? There is always a place to use a platform to further causes, to help, to be generous. Being intentional about repertoire choices, challenging perimeters, and pushing an agenda for the highest amount of inclusivity possible are some of the ways that I question.
