‘Keep on keeping on and be happy along the way. The journey isn’t always easy but it should bring you happiness.’
István Székely, pianist
My success is when I can transmit something that a genius composed
Mayda Narvey, cellist
For me, success is when I can forget myself and be at one with the music.
Camille Maalawy, mezzo-soprano
I have not followed an orthodox career, but have been lucky enough to be part of new and exciting works, often exploring the fusion between Arabic and western classical music.
Thomas Elwin, tenor
I think it is important not to imitate. Why be a Chinese whisper of someone else when you can have you own voice.
Tara Helen O’Connor, flautist
a complete immersion into the art of music. Everyone helps each other and the performances are utterly exhilarating. Music@Menlo is like food for the musical soul. You leave a better musician, enriched and fulfilled.
