Karpinos Plays Dvořák

OVERVIEW

CSO Assistant Principal Timpani and Percussion Vadim Karpinos demonstrates his virtuosic, nuanced and thoughtful playing in Dvořák’s Carnival Overture. To perform this challenging tambourine part requires an array of skills that take time to build. For Karpinos, it’s a matter of pragmatic preparation and learning from the process. “Compete with yourself. Are you better today than you were yesterday? Are you moving toward your goal? If you’re taking auditions, it is essential to keep track of your progress. You learn a lot from the auditions that did not go as well as you’d planned – even more than the ones you succeeded in.”
