Description
In a makeshift rehearsal space in lower Manhattan, a remarkable group of adults gathers each week to pursue music they discovered late—or returned to after years away. As he learns the cello alongside fellow amateurs and observes his son’s Suzuki lessons, the author reflects on the persistence, vulnerability, and joy involved in beginning something new. Blending memoir, musical history, and portraits of the orchestra’s unconventional players, the book explores lifelong learning, artistic ambition, family, and the transformative power of making music together.
