1. so here we go :) i'm edmond, currently living in philadelphia... a recent transplant from chicago... and before that denton, tx. i'm originally from way down south texas... closer to the american/mexican border than to the rest of the US. haha

2. why early music? hm... i kinda stumbled upon it by accident. my first year in undergrad at the university of north texas one of my friends told me i should look into the baroque orchestra. coming from south texas, i had never heard of such a thing. soooooooooo i went to a rehearsal and immediately thought to myself, "i should give this a try." so that's how i got into it... and i've been playing baroque violin ever since. i think the huge draw for me is how players interact with each other in an ensemble. sure, if it's a larger ensemble there's a conductor up at the front, but there's so much more attention to what people around you are doing, and you learn to play off of that and you just don't get that in a modern symphony, or even chamber orchestra.
