Eleven years ago I attended a chamber music workshop where our ensemble was conducted and coached by Itzhak Perlman. I met Steven Spielberg during its closing concert.
The conductor of the orchestra I performed with throughout high school played the conductor in the movie Fame.
I also met Lukas Foss, a contemporary American composer, many years ago as a child.
I've met former Poet Laureate Derek Walcott.
On the sidwalk I've bumped into George Stephanopoulos (in New York), Howard Dean and James Carville (DC).
