VC ARTIST

Stay organized and consistent - just do a little bit every day even when things feel overwhelming.

-The trust and freedom onstage -The love of extra-musical elements we sometimes weave into our performance such as speaking poetry and working with artists from a wide-range of art forms -Discovering new places through our travels and forming relationships with hosts, audiences, and presenters along the way -All the laughs and silliness -Openness to adventurous programming, experimentation and in-house trio arrangements

Notwithstanding the plane ride and jet lag, an Australia / New Zealand tour

Julia is “off to Pluto” when she’s performing, Lee gives moving impromptu musicology lectures onstage, and Brigid’s accents and impressions keep everyone endlessly entertained - In other words, the cohesion of strong individual elements onstage and off.

My former violin teacher Mark Mogilevski - a beautiful and inspiring violinist and person. He recently started putting some of his amazing recordings on youtube, and it’s been so moving to be able to listen to him again, even from half the world away! I’m always learning from him.
