SUGGESTED HOST INTRO

You’ve probably heard the expression, “Jack of all trades; master of none.”  Well, meet Jaime (JAY-me) Laredo.  He’s universally recognized as a master violinist, violist and conductor.  Although day-to-day he sits or stands in different places on the stage, one thing remains constant.



Jaime Laredo Clip:

“To me music is music and I approach it the same when, whether I’m playing the violin, whether I’m playing the viola, whether I’m conducting, I’m doing the same thing; it’s music.  I’ll be honest with you it’s a lot easier to wave your hands than it is to, you know put those fingers on the string and try to play in tune (laugh) but as a mindset, it’s the same.”



SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO

Violinist, violist and conductor Jaime Laredo.  You’ll hear him now with his (violin / viola / conducting) cap on.  (Introduce composer, music title and additional performers).
