You've seen us - we're those furtive, inner voice playing, joke loving, meat-that-holds-the-sandwich-together musicians of the viola section. Not only are we prized members of the orchestras in which we play, we're also surprsingly varied in our interests. I'll try to give a view of the myriad activities that go into making the life of a 21st century violist at this blog, as well as post items of interest to orchestral musicians and administrators. Enjoy - and I look forward to your comments.
