In this episode, violinist Nancy Zhou shares her deep, thoughtful approach to music-making. She explores:

• How interpretation goes beyond technique to storytelling
• The importance of score study and stepping into the composer’s mind
• How body awareness and movement shape musical expression
• What musicians can learn from dancers and storytellers
• The philosophy behind her upcoming album, Stories (Re)Traced

Nancy’s insights will challenge the way you think about practice, performance, and artistic growth.
