Reply to comment by MainlyMozartSD in I'm concertmaster (principal violin) of New York's Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and a professor at Juilliard. Next week, I'll be performing with the Mainly Mozart All-Star Orchestra in San Diego - the largest annual gathering of concertmasters and principal players in North America. AMA! by MainlyMozartSD

Do you believe the difference between Hillary Hahn and concertmasters from top tier orchestras is 0.01%?

They’re totally different skillsets; sure, some elite soloists could do a good job leading an orchestra and some concertmasters could do a great job performing concertos, but still, there’s quite a bit of specialization that muddies any possible comparison.
