proof that violists ARE coordinated

Just picked this up off of Sheridan’s blog - too good to pass up. It really is viola playing in a nutshell - you watch and listen, waiting for the seemingly inevitable car wreck…

Sheridan, by the way, was a classmate of mine at the Peabody Conservatory, where she studied with BSO principal violist Richard Field, while I was in Roberto Dìaz’s studio. She’s now the principal violist of the Dayton Philharmonic.

BTW - lest there be a misunderstanding, the talented young woman below is not Sheridan, she’s an unidentified student at Oberlin College.
