LLI Week 6: Lindsey Goodman – Behind The Curtain: A Musician’s Life and Preparation

While we all love to enjoy a polished performance of a great work of music, many music lovers are not aware of the many layers of a musician’s process to arrive at the finished product they share with us on stage or in recordings. Isn’t musicians’ work just play? Why is “talent” a dirty word? How *do* you get to Carnegie Hall? From decades of training to daily life juggling a portfolio career, musicians are elite small-muscle athletes who wear a number of professional hats. Experience a peek behind the curtain of a musician’s life and preparation with flutist Lindsey Goodman to learn about professional musicians’ lives and careers and to fully appreciate everything that goes into bringing the performances you love to your ears. (Spoiler: musicians love performing for you as much as you love hearing them!) This session will include performances of signature works from Ms. Goodman’s repertoire.
