Quinn was trying to begin his professional career as a cellist. He had splayed the instrument since he was five and just recently finished his bachelor’s degree in music performance. He as played for money and has also taught beginning cello to private students, though he has never had a major position in a professional symphony. This was the career goal he had since about the age of 12 when he knew he wanted to play the cello forever and as his job. He based this on what is frequently the natural assumption associated with cello performance and was the expected pursuit of most or all of the top students.

Now that he was out on his own in the world and encountering the tough reality of the field’s extreme competition, he began to question his goals and reevaluate his perspective. This by no means indicated that he was considering giving up or not playing professionally. Nor did it mean he had begun to feel defeated or that he couldn’t make it. Quinn sat in his room at one of the Indianapolis luxury hotels and thought about all of this before he headed out to attend a concert by the Indianapolis Symphony.

That evening the concert was amazing. The Indianapolis Symphony performed the Jupiter Symphony (also known as Symphony 41) by Mozart, who was actually one of Quinn’s favorite composers. This was Mozart’s final symphony and it was a great performance by the Indianapolis Symphony. Of course Quinn also loved Bach and some of the well known composers who wrote great works for the cello, such as Dvorak and Edward Elgar, but Mozart had special place in his heart. He realized while he was there that he truly did belong with a symphony and we would do whatever it takes to attain a position with one.
