In this episode, we sat down with Turkish violinist Emre Engin.

Emre is the recipient of many awards and he's an active soloist in both the US and Turkey. Although we both come from Turkey, we did not actually meet officially and become friends until meeting at Stony Brook University in New York, where he and I are both completing doctorate degrees in music.

In the episode we talked about his music career as well as his experience living in Turkey, the UK and the US. In the US he was a student of the famous violinist Pinchas Zukerman and his assistant Patinka Kopec, and had lots of interesting things to say about that style of teaching.

Emre also had some interesting insights into how he deals with nerves while performing. This is especially difficult as a soloist, who is under the spotlight at the front of the orchestra and has to play some of the most difficult music in the violin repertoire.
