What an uplifting and motivating attitude towards life-long learning! This clip from the episode with the brilliant and creative pianist Christina Petrowska Quilico

""You have to build confidence or just a fun attitude towards it. Let's see if I can do this"

Wonderful advice from Christina Petrowska Quilico for musicians: Get over yourself - it's all about the music! podcast link: www.leahroseman.com/episodes/chr... Nearly 70 powerful albums later—most recorded live in a single take - Christina's curiosity and creative energy are boundless.

Do you feel it’s changed? I found this hair story really so sad to hear. Christina shared a couple of stories including discrimination in academia because she was a mother. Podcast link: www.leahroseman.com/episodes/chr...

Christina Petrowska Quilico had a long collaboration with composer Ann Southam"she gave me full access to do anything I wanted musically...And that really gives a performer freedom and to have a journey which is different every time you perform."

"Gosh, this land shouldn't be treeless. And when we actually went up to film there for the Freedom to Roam and we went to Glen Afric that's been rewilded with Trees for Life, it's so beautiful." www.leahroseman.com/episodes/eli...
