“Much orchestral music at the turn of the 20th century was fueled by the music making of amateurs. Folk songs and dances were especially prized as authentic and unstuffy. Nationalism may have played to local enthusiasms, but its spirit remains at the core of the repertoire of every orchestra in the world today.”
~ Maestro Christopher Wilkins
