| Source Moment: | I not only benefitted from the masterclasses and recitals, but also loved interaction with all the musicians and master teachers. Remembered one lunch, all pianists went out with beloved Arlene Shrut, we had a great and informative conversation on collaborative piano and life. I felt that that time spent with each other brought us closer as colleagues and friends. |
