Miriam Burns Quotes
«I do wear tails . . . I think it would be distracting to wear a long dress. You have to look ultra-formal and in command at the podium because, well, you are in command. Or you'd better be. . . .

«I had to put down the violin. It was devastating. . . . But if it hadn't happened I never would have considered conducting. I went through a total career turnaround.»
