"I strive to create without losing a sense of curiosity and child-like innocence, while tenaciously honing my skills as an artisan. In my view, this is the most important, but the most difficult thing to do – to perfect one’s artistry as a musician. My goal is to create an artistic model which connects life and art, where we don’t live for the sake of art, but where art allows us to experience the joy of creating." –Leon Livshin.
The broadcast will take place at 3pm Eastern / 12pm Pacific.
