Peter Winograd is the first violinist with the American String Quartet and a member of the violin and chamber music faculties at the Manhattan School of Music and the Aspen Music School.
When he's not teaching, he serves as concertmaster for The Discovery Orchestra.“Music is an abstract art form, opera and popular music with lyrics notwithstanding. If you just listen to a symphony, it’s delving into emotions that you can try to put words to, but sometimes it only cheapens it,” he said.
Winograd gives an inside scoop on how he met his longtime friend, Discovery Orchestra Founder and Artistic Director George Marriner Maull.
