MUSICIAN INSIGHT |
|
| |
Brennan Sweet, Associate Concertmaster |
| |
 |
“It’s always a thrill for me to play [a solo] with the orchestra and Maestro Lacombe, and to play for such appreciative audiences. It was a fabulous concert, and everyone was very enthusiastic. It was fun to perform the first movement [of Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins] for this Best of … concert. I first learned the Bach when I was 7 years old—it was in Suzuki Book Four! So it was very interesting to actually be able to perform it with an orchestra. I always like the concerts in the Best of … series; it’s great to play a lot of different pieces on one program.
“I actually sprained my wrist on Saturday night and was unable to play [on Sunday’s concert in Englewood]. Luckily, [Concertmaster] Eric Wyrick was able to step in and play the solo—it was a real reminder that an injury can affect your ability to play your instrument.”
