"Starting this orchestra keeps my<br />
mind occupied, because it is a lot<br />
of work. There are six subscription<br />
concerts on top of what I am<br />
already doing. I have to conduct<br />
14 subscription programs this<br />
season in Canada alone. It keeps<br />
me going. " See page 12<br />
