🎻 Jenny Cho, Concertmaster of the California Symphony, gives us a peek into her must-have essentials:
✏️ A pencil – “Genius is talent plus a pencil,” a wise motto shared by one of her former conductors. Whether marking scores or taking quick notes, a pencil is indispensable.
👂 Earplugs – With a wide range of music and seating arrangements, earplugs are essential for protecting her hearing health. Musicians need to take care of their most valuable tool—their ears!
💧 A water bottle – While it doesn’t fit in her case, Jenny always keeps one nearby. Staying hydrated is key to performing her best during long rehearsals and performances.
It’s the little things that help bring every performance to life. See Jenny and the rest of the California Symphony in action this February 1 and 2 at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek.
