Some musicians find teaching to be a drag on their performing careers. For violinist Tim Kantor, it's exactly the opposite. He says his students not only re-focus his energy on the joy of musical discovery, they constantly inspire him with new ideas. Tim Kantor will close his week as PT's Young Artist in Residence with a set of musical bon-bons by Fritz Kreisler and Jean Sibelius. PT host Fred Child welcomes him to the studio on Friday's Performance Today.
