Episode description

Part 2 of my inquiry into the connections between wood and music and, by extension, trees and people.

I interview Judy Nelson, violist for the New York Philharmonic, who tells me stories of violas, old and new, teaches me what makes an instrument "speak" and gives me insight into the dynamic relationship between a musician and her fiddle.
