“The kind of artistic development that is gained by performing night after night is quite valuable but can’t be taught.  Most violinists who are just starting their careers don’t have an opportunity to play a tour like this.  In addition to the great performing experiences, the drives around the country gave me an opportunity to see a fairly large part of New Zealand, which was a very enjoyable adventure in itself.”
