“Symphonic orchestras have almost become a glut in the market.” — Skitch Henderson Quote

Symphonic orchestras have almost become a glut in the market.

But I listen to everything, I listen to all artists that come along.

Then I went to radio with Sinatra and I watched that disappear.

If you don't operate it as a business, you aren't going to be around very long.

And then I went into television; and then television moved from the East Coast to Hollywood.

When facing symphonic orchestras which have played some works five thousands times, you have nothing to do.

People talk very much about, 'What can we do with the orchestra in the 21st century?' We should think about the 21st century, of course.

You can only learn orchestration if you have the possibility of using an orchestra.

It's like a whole orchestra, the piano for me.

I miss singing with an orchestra because that's the most uplifting thing that I ever knew. It is just such a fabulous feeling.
