Did you meet a cellist named Julian Langford there? He's a good friend and orchestra-mate of mine.

Yes! Julian is pictured in the From The Top photo, and also in the orchestra photo as principle cellist.

Oh, I see him now! He's the principal cellist in my school orchestra.

I learn SO much from your blogs. The way you write, your experiences, and everything makes me feel like I am there with you. You write so beautifully with a lot of feeling and heart, which is something I must learn to do. I'm glad you had such a great time!

Great blog, Caeli! I really like this idea of exploring communication and expression along with the skills and traditions of our instruments. We should always be staying close to what music is all about, and that has to do with what flows between the musician and his/her audience. It's easy to forget this after 1,000,000 hours alone in a practice room! How do you test the reaction of your audience there? It's just imagined. It makes sense to have a class that is only about this interaction, since we have classes that are so very focused on technique to the exclusion of anything else.
Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Congratulations on a great blog, Caeli! I know several of the instructors at the camp, and they are the most thoughtful, musical people I can imagine.

Hi Caeli,
I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful time at the Heifetz summer music festival. I attended this festival back in 1998 and 2000, when it was held in Annapolis, MD and felt I grew a lot as a musician. Thank you for sharing your blog with us, and best of luck on your up-coming auditions.
