I love being part of an ensemble.

It's such a joy to work with different ensembles and create a collaboration. Rehearsing and building a performance is very interesting for me.

In terms of the series, we worked separately, getting together in rehearsal to beat out the material.

Yeah, I love doing ensemble pieces. You get to meet so many new people and make new friends.

The problem is, when you're working with orchestras, you only get the orchestra for about two hours before the performance to pull it all together, and that doesn't sound like a real collaboration.

Ensemble is hard to do. It's like 3-D chess.

I don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.

I've always been a good ensemble player.

I can imagine wanting to work with this ensemble and this company always.
