Cynthia Phelps, Principal Viola of the New York Philharmonic, joins Behind the Screen on this episode titled “A Balanced Life”. She talks about the love of playing music and to have a depth of knowledge in the excerpts that you’re playing. It’s the little things in these excerpts that will distinguish you from the others and show who you are and what you have to say. We talk about the pressure of taking an audition, to make sure that you have a balanced life, and to always be open to what life may throw your way. Cindy has a wonderful outlook on life, and it was such a pleasure to speak with her and to hear her great advice on taking auditions, living life, playing tennis, and making sure your life is balanced.
