So, when I was approached by a baton maker, they said: “We want you to be our signature artist,
can we put you signature on the handles of the baton?”
I said: “That’s kind of boring! I don't really want one of those myself.”
So, how about, on every baton; if I’ve conducted Mozart, Stravinsky, Films, Video Games…
every single baton says on the handle: “Wake the Winds”
So, Zelda took me all over the world: Sydney Opera House, Madison Square Garden, Qatar.
And ...
And I've had the great honour of working with some of the greatest orchestras in the world
and one of them is sitting right behind me, right now.
I invite you to come with me and this incredible group of artists behind me ...
and wake the winds.
