Bassoonist Eleni Katz | CHASING CRESCENDOS

From the careful preparation of her reeds to long rehearsals, bassoonist Eleni Katz shares a glimpse of her musical journey. Born to a family of artists in Wisconsin, she began playing clarinet until her teacher suggested she tried bassoon as a way to stand out. Now, she is tasked with blending in with the New World Symphony orchestra as they take on Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 in E minor.
