I am trying to stay focussed on the reason why I decided to make music for a living. Beyond all of the judgement of one’s peers, beyond the politics of being cast or getting an audition or not, beyond rude agents and ‘extraneous’ work (what I might call the requirements for my degree), it really comes down to music-making.

Enjoy Kiri te Kanawa performing Cantaloube’s Bailero from Les Chants d’Auvergne.
