What do you like about <strong>Orchestra</strong> <strong>Nova</strong>? Lots <strong>of</strong> energy and spontaniety in rehearsals<br />
I love <strong>the</strong> challenge <strong>of</strong> being a musical chameleon, changing from one<br />
moment to <strong>the</strong> next (reflecting on playing with my favorite rock band,<br />
STYX, singing on <strong>the</strong> Letterman show and playing with <strong>the</strong> orchestra).<br />
