But can she make some kind of respectable career--certainly in her home country--probably yes. But if you are interested in the exceptional and the very best--then that seems she does not present the best case. I just want to be fair. To be able to play the Sibelius concerto at all, sufficient to get into Julliard is an accomplishment, and a non trivial one. That does not mean one is therefore competitive in the concert world and that one would get to play it at Carnegie Hall (where I was last night playing with a great pianist Piers Lane, from England by way of Australia). And I do not know if she has a distinctive musical intelligence that compensates for some shortcoming in the surface brilliance of the athleticism--the way Robert Mann, Alexander Schneider and Gidon Kremer--all great artists whose violin playing was on the highest level but not by virtue of virtuosity alone but owing to the character of thought and originality.

She just took over from Steven Clapp, who was your friend's teacher (and head of the violin department at Julliard) until he died very recently. Laurie has heard her play--in order to decide to take her as a student. Laurie is an old friend and colleague and has taught here for years (she has seven students at Bard). Your friend played the Sibelius concerto for the audition and Laurie thought it was good and interesting enough to take her on. Her first lesson is Monday. But for the time being Laurie believes that there is sufficient reason to believe that she can have a career in music. She won't necessarily become the leading soloist, but she could become part of a major orchestra or chamber ensemble. So for the time being, it doses not seem a total waste of time and money. Laurie will keep mew posted. Let's see what kind of progress she makes over the next months. EFTA_R1_00395773 EFTA01938636 I hope this helps.
