Welcome to THIS edition of GOOD QUESTION, brought to you exclusively by THISent.com! I’m your host, “Word Heavyweight Champion” Mr. Joe Walker.
Throughout my illustrious career as an entertainment writer and journalist, I’ve been blessed with opportunities to speak with many notable and famous persons. One of those is globally acclaimed violinist Karen Gomyo!
During our conversation I asked the Stradivarius player THIS good question: Why is the violin so respected by people who like fine art?
He answered, “Well, I play on an instrument that was made in 1703. If you think of how long the violin’s been around, it’s been around since the 1500s.
It’s an instrument that’s existed for so long, it’s seen so much history in terms of the music to go with it. And music has evolved so much. The violin has always been considered to have a really important role in the development of music, and it’s still very much an important instrument.
When you look at an orchestra you see more violins than any other instrument. And the violin and visual arts have always gone hand in hand.” |THIS
