“Kabalevsky had predicted, a number of small gigs resulted from the contest Suzanne won. A few came from people she’d met at Cynthia’s party, and others were arranged by Philip, who had become, tacitly, her manager, even before they decided to marry. She had never sought a manager, didn’t need one yet, she thought, despite Elena’s urgings. Elena, who had been taken on by her stepfather’s manager, was busy touring in the Midwest, but she prodded Suzanne regularly by phone. The gigs were in local ...halls in Westchester and Rockland Counties or Long Island, small towns in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Never mind small, it was a start, Phil said. It got her name around. Richard agreed: Play wherever they’re willing to have you. That’s what a professional does. It would be good for her, Richard said, to get used to the traveling, the unfamiliar instruments and settings, to learn all she could. Suzanne played better in these places than she expected, or rather, her nagging stage fright was more manageable.MoreLessRead More Read Less
