Eighteen year old Caroline Goulding gave a passionate performance of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with the Santa Fe Concert Association. She displayed extraordinary technique AND great feeling, a rare combination at any age. There was some additional drama in the last movement. She was playing furiously, turned to the concertmaster, and leaned towards him. Hmmm, looks like jazz or rock? Then, they did a split second exchange of violins, and she did not miss a beat. Cool under fire! We learned later that a string had popped off of the bridge of her violin, which no one noticed in her playing. I look forward to great music from her!
