Weekend of February 14, 2009
Facing the Audience
Cellist Alban Gerhardt was used to shutting out the audience. He always plays with earplugs, and used to perform with his eyes closed. But recently, he decided he needed to engage the audience a little more, to create a more emotionally honest performance. He's working on keeping his eyes open, although he still won't part with the earplugs. We'll hear Gerhardt today, performing the Dvorak Cello Concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
