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.”

Jeffrey Biegel's 4th #StayAtHome Saturday Concert features David Foster premiere
Classical livestream pioneer pianist, Jeffrey Biegel, performs the fourth #StayAtHome concert on Saturday, April 4 at 5pm EST on YouTube Live: https://youtu.be/mReELNhsHl8. His friend, composer/pianist/producer David Foster, releases his new recording 'Eleven', on April 3, and, Mr. Biegel will perform "Everlasting" from the new release https://lnk.to/DF_Everlasting. As in the previous concerts 'at home', there will be several surprises, including Mr. Biegel's arrangement of "Hymne l'Amour", several relatively unknown compositions by George Gershwin, plus music by Giovanni Allevi, Enrique Granados, Frederic Chopin and more. On March 27, Mr. Biegel composed a "Waltz of Hope", and recorded it from home https://youtu.be/q5GZLwR4-gk.
"My fervent prayer for everyone around the world is to be safe from the wrath of the global viral pandemic, and that we all join together to stay as physically distant as possible to protect ourselves and those around us. Since we are not truly socially distant, thanks to technology, we must remain as physically distant as humanly possible. I wish everyone Godspeed and good health and pray we all make it to the other side of darkness."
In 1997, Mr. Biegel decided to start something new, in the form of the first classical video streaming event. In July 1997, he performed three times from Steinway Hall in New York City, to global audiences receiving the video stream for the first time. These recitals are preserved on YouTube at Mr. Biegel's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/biegel88.
