Description

Marie talks about her experience being a historical performer in Europe, what her life is like, and also about what it means to be a performer today.

She explains how she got into the early music world from being a modern clarinetist in the United States, what motivated her, the process of learning a historical instrument, and how this made her a more complete musician. The lifestyle of an early music wind player is discussed - everything from travel, playing with musicians from other cultures, and the vast collection of instruments that are used regularly!

Take a look at what's inside this one early musician's backpack!
