"As we were preparing for and anticipating our NSO guest, one young student asked when the "magician" was coming. I smiled and reminded him that our guest would be a musician, not a magician. But as I thought about the student's comment, it occurred to me that musicians are magicians. When they work their magic, their music inspires and enriches us in ways we cannot always explain or express."
