CONNECTIONS“ My first connection to Marin is with Alasdair Neale. He was one of the first conductors — the most important conductor in the early part of my career. I’ve worked with him the longest... At first he was just a conductor. Then he became a friend. We’re in touch always. He’s a friend for music and a musical friend at ” the same time. This will be the third time I’ve played in Marin.

FOCUS “ I can involve both the really focused part of my brain preparing for a concert and the really experimental part of my brain trying new things for whatever’s ” coming next.Photo: James Hall Featured Artist | Pianist Orion Weiss | Concert 1, No. 1

LISTENING “ I listen to recordings. I play it on different pianos. I come back with different intentions and ideas. When I perform for people I listen in a new way. I transport myself into the ears of ” an audience member.Photo: James Hall Featured Artist | Pianist Orion Weiss | Concert 1, No. 1

CONVERSATION “ I see what’s working and what isn’t, and I do instantaneous changes to make it work. When I’m playing with other musicians I’m reacting to what they’re doing. Music is like a ” conversation.Photo: James Hall Featured Artist | Pianist Orion Weiss | Concert 1, No. 1

CHARACTERS & VOICES “ Even in a solo concert, there’s still a dialogue going on inside the music. There are characters and voices. In the Tchaikovsky concerto there’s this endless stream of different characters with attitudes and personalities. You can imagine a person. We’re trying to tell a story. Even if it’s not a story with a plot, it’s still a story that ” makes emotional sense. Photo: Leslie Van SteltenFeatured Artist | Pianist Orion Weiss | Concert 1, No. 1
