Randall Goosby’s return to the New Jersey Symphony stage is profiled by Arts News Now
After his electrifying debut with the New Jersey Symphony during their Centennial season, young virtuoso Randall Goosby is set to make his return to the stage to perform with the Symphony in New Brunswick, Princeton, Newark and Morristown from January 8–11. During his preparation for the program, the violinist spoke to Arts News Now’s Lori Goldstein to chat about his upbringing and his upcoming performances with the Symphony, which will feature him performing Barber’s Violin Concerto.
“A sense of modesty and humbleness was something that was very important to [my parents], and still is to me,” says Randall. “Kids who have a lot of success and a great deal of talent, and who are lucky enough to have that perfect storm of a wonderful teacher, a supportive family, and opportunities to showcase their talent…sometimes are in a position of great risk. Because you’ve accomplished so much, and you’ve refined your work so hard by the time you’re 15 or 16, you sometimes emotionally or mentally burn out. I didn’t have the opportunity to do that, thankfully, because my parents really stressed the importance of a sense of balance.”
