double bass podcast
What a year 2016 has been!
This past year is when I kicked the podcast into overdrive, and the stats bear this out:
This episode takes a look back at the guests featured this year and features a short quote from my conversation with them.
I love talking with audiiton winners.
Learning about how they designed and implemented a long-term plan is fascinating. What went right? What went wrong? How did they adjust course? What did they do to get through the low points? When did things start to click?
Caleb is the most recent addition to the bass section of the Kansas City Symphony. He studied at New England Conservatory and Rice University prior to winning the Kansas City job.
It was such fun connecting with Caleb and talking auditioning with him!
He and I had actually met years ago at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago when his high school orchestra performed there. Caleb was principal bassist of his orchestra and had a solo in a piece, and I went up to the stage and congratulated him after the performance. Small world!

Chris Hanulik hit the ground running career-wise, landing a position in the Los Angeles Philharmonic after graduating from Juilliard.
“Leaving New York to had out to Southern California… what was that transition like?” I asked.
“I did not have too much trouble adjusting!” Chris said jovially.
It was a blast to get to sit down with Chris in person for this interview. I totally love talking in person and do so whenever possible, so it was super-cool to get together with Chris a few weeks back in LA!
