Welcome back from summer vacation! Well, if your school changed names and had a big makeover, that is...ViolaCentric is now MusicianCentric. We've rebranded our podcast to create more inclusive conversations that resonate with all musicians. With a fresh line of merchandise and a revamped Patreon, we're thrilled to be joining you for a fourth Season! What better way to get into it than by talking to our first guest, violinist Nick Kendall. We discuss his career journey, both as a solo artist and as part of the Grammy Award-winning ensemble, Time for Three. We look at the orchestral industry's struggles, the impact of digital media on our brains, and the power of improvisation. Our field is rapidly evolving and there are countless ways musicians can forge their paths, break away from traditional beliefs, and create something beautiful that resonates with audiences. Tune in for a candid, inspiring, and musical conversation! **If you enjoyed this episode, please consider rating and writing a quick review for our podcast!  We have a Patreon site!
