Cello Suite

Me improvising.

Me and Tim Hughes, Cello 1st Chair of the London Symphony Orchestra.

But, things don’t always go as planned and here I am, staring at my cello, encased in a pretty starch white plexiglass form and begging to make it a principle win my life again. I’m working on that. It’s a deep part of my life that represents my highest creative self and expressive soul.

I most recently played in string quartet in Atlanta, covering everything from Dvorak to Bohemian Rhapsody. But, our creative differences riffed us apart. I wanted to perform; they just wanted to get enjoy a weekly playing session. I moved on and now just play at home, here and there. But it’s calling me. Loudly.

A one-on-one interview with personal chit chat with Master and Principal cellist Tim Hugh of the London Symphony Orchestra resulted in an invite to study with him in the U.K. And I didn’t didn’t take him up on it. Not even after three days of jaw-dropping LSO performances I had the honor of attending a few years back convinced me to drop all I was doing. It should have.

I then listen to pieces like Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1  one of my all-time favorite string compositions and I’m moved to do something radical. It’s genius and tells a lovely and breath-taking romantic story. Listen to it.

While I work on becoming that master cellist — if even in my head or in the intimacy of my home or recording studio — I love perusing images of cello’s, cellists and sexy images that depict a most somber and warm tone. Even one of me a few years back in my front yard!
