February celebrates the incredible life and career of a true virtuosic pioneer, the great Julie Landsman.

The Music Academy of the West is among the nation's preeminent summer schools and festivals for gifted young classical musicians. At its ocean-side campus in Santa Barbara, the Academy provides these musicians with the opportunity for advanced study and performance under the guidance of internationally renowned faculty artists, guest conductors, and soloists.

"Dreams Come True...and a bit of Aura Fluffing" Julie Landsman talks to Sarah Willis live from Miami on the Horn Hangouts about her awesome career and her teaching philosophies. Thanks to New World Symphony for setting this up, sorry about Sarah´s shaky hotel internet connection!
