Communicating with Your Audience
During Edna’s 23 years as managing director of IMG Artists, she personally looked after the career of violinist, Itzhak Perlman and launched the careers of musicians such as pianists Evgeny Kissin and Lang Lang, violinist Hilary Hahn, and conductors Franz Welser-Mõst and Alan Gilbert.
Edna believes young musicians can grow their own careers, with “hard work, blind faith, passion for the cause, incessant networking and a vision that refuse[s] to be tarnished by naysayers.”

World Premiere of Judith Shatin's Ice Becomes Water Given by San Jose Chamber Orchestra on March 25
The World Premiere of Judith Shatin's Ice Becomes Water, for string orchestra and electronics, will be given by Barbara Day Turner and the San Jose Chamber Orchestra (which also commissioned the piece) on Sunday, March 25 @ 7 PM at the Trianon Theatre, 72 North Fifth Street, San Jose, CA.
Judith writes, "Ice Becomes Water is scored for string orchestra and electronics that I fashioned from field recordings shared by glaciologist Oscar Glowacki, who studies the acoustic signatures of glaciers. It is well known that glaciers are melting at a dramatically increasing pace as the result of human-driven climate change. As they become water they raise sea levels, change currents, and affect the entire web of ecosystems across the world. My piece is a lament for our role in this process and a call to change...Ice Becomes Water was commissioned by, and is dedicated to, conductor Barbara Day Turner and the San Jose Chamber Orchestra."

This will be part of the SJCO's A Touch of Tech concert, which also includes works by Thea Musgrave, Vivian Fung and William Susman. More about the event at https://sjco.org/.
