Do you have a favorite? PZ:: I enjoy it all — violin, viola, con- ducting, teaching. Each musical activ- ity in which I participate is just one facet of the intricate process of music making. It's all one big animal. My favorite orchestra is the National Arts Centre Orchestra, where I am just beginning my tenure as music director. I have a tremendous affinity for these musicians, and I look forward to work- ing with them on a long-term basis. This is an orchestra of very high quali- ty, and I hope to create an even higher level of musical excellence and build upon our longstanding relationship. The English Chamber Orchestra was my first professional conducting experience, and I love the orchestra very much. Likewise, I had a tremen- dous experience in St. Paul, [Minn.], and I believe I did a great deal for that orchestra. I enjoy, very much, return- ing to St. Paul to conduct and play, and I also play chamber music with a few of its members. I love working with all orchestras — the size doesn't matter to me. % OFF ALL DINNERS Min MM. MN NMI IM•111 I ■ 111 111•1111 MM1 11E1=1 MN MIMI I I I I I I I Mort. Titru Fri.
