Stilian Kiror
"I'm very very fortunate to be a musician" said Kiror, "because music was really my hobby, my passion, and in time became my profession. They say when your job is your passion or hobby, you never have to work a day in your life."
Concerning music, Kiror said that there are two ways to listen to music. One is listening to forget. "We all do this. You get home, you had a bad day at work, the dentist, your mother-in-law, a letter from the IRS that wasn't a check..." A piece you really like lets you relax.
The other way is when we listen to grow. This requires a certain amount of work we all need to do. This is when you go to the concert hall and you hear the very first note of music and you hang on to it throughout the whole piece and it takes you on a journey. Why do this? "It has something to do with the wiring of our brains, a way of seeing the world through a higher perspective. And you may still forget your mother-in-law".
Kiror said one of the most common questions he gets is what does a conductor do. His answer was "I really don't know". After a laugh he said "let's all clap". He held up his hand and when he brought it down everyone clapped. He did it again to another clap, then just held his hand up and nothing happened. "You see", he said. He then went on to talk about the conductor's job to impart an interpretation and energy to a performance of the orchestra.
Kiror went on to talk about his background, the program for the upcoming January 30 concert, the composers, and how he rehearses with the orchestra. He then answered a number of questions from the audience.
