Miriam Burns Quotes

«I do wear tails . . . I think it would be distracting to wear a long dress. You have to look ultra-formal and in command at the podium because, well, you are in command. Or you'd better be. . . . The music should be done so well that the audience forgets if you're a man or woman. There's nothing about conducting that's gender-specific.»

«The violin came naturally, and it really fit me. When I picked it up (and placed it under the chin), it looked like it had grown there. It just fit.»
Author: Miriam Burns
«I had to put down the violin. It was devastating. . . . But if it hadn't happened I never would have considered conducting. I went through a total career turnaround.»
