An Interview with Roberto González-Monjas (first violin, concert master, conductor) BY Jeffrey Arlo Brown

An Interview with
Roberto González-Monjas

BY Jeffrey Arlo Brown

(... was born in 1988 in New York City and grew up in Brookline, Massachusetts. He studied composition in Salzburg and Basel, then worked in the travel industry for two years. He lives with his husband in Berlin.)

JEFFREY ARLO BROWN · PHOTOGRAPHY © RICARDO GONZÁLEZ · DATE 10/12/2017

An extract from the interwe:

"YOU’VE SAID THAT YOU WERE LIVING OUT OF A SUITCASE FOR A TIME, AND THAT IT WAS DEPRESSING. WHAT WAS THAT LIKE CONCRETELY?

It wasn’t good. I guess I was going through the typical process—you just have to learn. I took on so many concerts, and I was happy to do all of them, but I disregarded the fact that you need a lot of time—connected to this Rados method—to study, make decisions, interpret, and really be sure what you want to do in the concert. It’s not just about playing the concert. 

So I was basically studying until 2, 3, even 4 a.m., and then waking up at 8 a.m. and going to rehearsals. I was preparing pieces on top of pieces. Besides not really having a home, just traveling from here to there and living out of a suitcase. It was hard.

I came to the point where my health even started deteriorating, and I said, “OK, this isn’t good anymore.” I need a home base, I need to calm down, and I need to really invest time in what I want: myself, my life, and studying and having the time to be happy about what I do. In order to go up in front of an orchestra and give them a vision, and not just some string of ideas that makes no sense. "

Eloi Youssef - No control, how wonderful... #daughter

I share this link  https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc8CD5-nj3r/
beucase there is a wonderful and cute picture that shows love and kindness. Thank you to Eloi Youssef (Kensington band singer, guitar player, keyboard, lyricist and songwriter) who has shared on his Instagram account.  I don't know him personally, but I can listen to his wonderful voice. This picture makes me think that Eloi isn't just a good singer, but he's a good man too. I'm happy that we have the same birthday (Eloi was born on the 28th of June 1987 and I was born on the 28th of June 1988)...
