S02E31 - Tara O'Connor

Dr. Tara O'Connor lit up the studio (as she does every place she
goes) with her joviality and quick wit. In the interview it
became apparent that if you really love what you do, you never
need a "vacation". Aside from teaching at numerous high-level
music programs and performing in many prestigious professional
performance ensembles, she makes time for personal music projects
she believes in. As a flutist (not "flout-ist") she had never
felt the gravitational pull of the orchestral establishment being
artistically fulfilled and free to blaze her own path as she has
done so successfully. In our interview, you will not be able to
help but be inspired and energized by her apparent love of music
and the flute.  And cooking. And photography.
