Question for Katie & Steve

Hello Katie,
I heard about a famous statement Yitzhak Pearlman made once about "sometimes an artist must figure out a way to make music with what he has left". This was in reference to his breaking a string during a performance one evening. Is there any way you can help me get the information on the particular event and the context? Thank you so much. - Connie Davis

Hi Connie,

I've never heard this quote before- but I love it! I have 2 suggestions.

1. I would start with a web search on Google or another search engine and try to find info on him.

2. Call or go to your local library and ask for the "Reference Desk". Ask for their help to find this info. I have found these folks to be open and well informed.

Good luck & let me know what you find out.
