Love to listen, love to play I am a violin player, getting my chops back up after an 18 year layoff. I play with the local chamber orchestra, and would honestly love to hone my skills back up to a level at which I could audition for one of the local symphonies.

Wonderful but not necessary - meeting someone to play chamber music with.

My tastes are wildly eclectic. The Naxos catalog actually reflects my tastes pretty well.

I actually dislike classical radio. I like to be in charge of what's playing, and who's playing it.

But when it's in season, the Metropolitan Opera is mandatory listening every Saturday morning.

I also listen to St. Paul Sunday morning on a pretty regular basis.
