Reviews

A valuable memoir by someone with a unique vision of what it was like to perform in an American orchestra in the 20th century. Mary Ellyn Hutton, Music Writer, The Cincinnati Post


This is a most enjoyable book. I only wish it were longer than its 160-plus pages. -Bill Gowen, Daily Herald The Right Place, the Right Time will be read and enjoyed by everyone curious to know how a veteran symphony player looks at the business of making music. -The Chicago Tribune A valuable memoir by someone with a unique vision of what it was like to perform in an American orchestra in the 20th century. -Mary Ellyn HuttonMusic Writer, The Cincinnati Post This is the stuff music students, particularly ones that don't have current access to orchestral musicians performing in major musical organizations such as the Chicago Symphony must read to understand what the life is and should be like. Read the book...and better yet, have your students read it! -Lauren Baker Murray, Music Educators Journal, Sept. 1, 2008
