‘Music has the power to transcend boundaries. We can feel it when that happens in concerts, and that feels like success.’
Andrew Smith, composer
There are so many different kinds of success. I like to say that the biggest compliment a composer can receive is a good first performance. Knowing I have the motivation and desire to keep writing music means I’ve succeeded in making a good career choice. Or perhaps success is a word of appreciation after a performance, knowing that my music has made a connection.
