The first batch of stories has gone up on “Musician’s Well,” a new website that showcases stories of musicians and their recoveries from injury. I’m so thankful for everyone willing to share their experiences, and also, to Mark Morris (who took the photo to the left) and Honey Lazar for their beautiful photography.
I think each story is beautiful and important and worth sharing, and that each is a story of resilience, persistence, and adaptability. In this first batch, there is a piece by Megumi Kanda, Principal Trombone of the Milwaukee Symphony; Steve Proser of the Utah Symphony; Dennis Najoom, retired from the Milwaukee Symphony; Steven Cohen, a New York City freelancer; and an anonymous freelancer who shares experiences working with Laurie Frink and Arnold Jacobs. There are many more stories in the works, not all of which are brass players. Wind and string players and pianists will be represented soon as well.
I’ve created a Facebook page for Musician’s Well, so please feel free to “like” it and share whenever stories are posted so that these stories reach those who might benefit from it.
Thank you!
