This summer I will occasionally post conversations with the artists who were scheduled to come to Newburyport this summer. Some will be participating in our “quartet caroling” but others weren’t able to make it due to covid-19.

David YangDistant echoes, the vast roof overhead - I feel a slight chill and sense of awe when I walk into a cathedral. I get the same feeling of immensity when I listen to Bach’s sixth cello suite, a work the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich called “a symphony for solo cello.”

David YangI love winter: the low afternoon sun, footsteps crunching on new snow, huddling in bed under a comforter, that unusual pink night sky that signals snow.
