On That Note: Being An Audience Member

Christine Lalla
Robert Cohen

Professional musician Robert Cohen spends much of his time performing in various concert venues.

For this month's On That Note segment, Lake Effect wondered what it’s like for a professional musician to go to a concert - not to perform - but to listen to others make music.

"He speaks music. Music is a language, and he speaks it so eloquently and so poetically and beautifully. It's constantly telling me something," says Cohen of one of his idols, Pablo Casals.
