The son of a Juilliard-trained conductor, this one went into theatre as an actor and award-winning Sound and Lighting designer. But classical music limns my life: it soothes my days and accompanies my nights. It is part of my DNA, and central to my psyche.
These days I also work as an acting coach for some amazing young actors just embarking on their own careers. Many of these are truly stunning in their talent and abilities. It is a true honor to be present in their lives as they take those memorable first steps into what must be their life's destiny.
As a guide and mentor to some of these, I am able to deepen their appreciation for the beauty and mysteries of this world --- not the least of which is embodied here in this amazing place.
I am thrilled to join this community; thrilled to share in the rarified atmosphere of beauty, wisdom and emotion -- the best of human creativity as expressed through the music we enjoy so much.
If you are as I, with classical music running deep through your soul, you are truly blessed.
Walter Raphael Mantani
