Jennifer Koh

Violin soloist Jennifer Koh has never cancelled a gig. Even when she had pneumonia, bronchitis and strep throat... at the same time. That drive comes through in the intensity of her live performances and the fierceness of her determination. Davis speaks with her former colleague in Philip Glass and Robert Wilson's epic opera Einstein on the Beach about the toll her exacting performances take on the body, the empathy required for a truly transcendent live show, and trusting that your personal perspective and experiences will resonate for others.
