SUGGESTED HOST INTRO

It's many a mother and father's dream to have their children follow in their footsteps.  Then there's the Järvi (YAR-vee) family.


CLIP TRANSCRIPT

"I grew up in a musician's family; my father's a conductor, my father's brother was a conductor, my younger brother is a conductor, so there is, it's a kind of a family business, if you will.  And I think it is our quest to try to see what's behind the notes - making the music leap off the page rather than becoming an academic exercise, and I think that, I hope that we have at least partly succeeded in doing that, in finding the human message."


SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO

Conductor Paavo Järvi (PAH-voh YAR-vee) is one of several Järvis (YAR-veez) who went into the family business*.  Here's Paavo Järvi conducting (insert music title, composer and orchestra).


*Optional:  Neeme Järvi (NEM-muh) just finished his final season conducting the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, and Kristjan (KRIS-chahn) Järvi conducts the Absolute Ensemble.
