This year we have been celebrating what would’ve been the 100th birthday of legendary violinist Isaac Stern.  Back in January we were fortunate to have an extraordinary violinist perform with the Kansas City Symphony, Nancy Zhou.  Nancy was the first prize winner in the 2018 Shanghai Isaac Stern International Violin Competition, and she performed the Mendelssohn Concerto with guest conductor Peter Oundjian and the Symphony.  In this episode, we talk with Nancy about her career, how she’s spending her time during Covid-19, mojitos, Tex-Mex and much more -- this week on Beethoven Walks into a Bar.Episode 205 Playlist

3 Mojitos in with Beethoven, featuring violinist Nancy Zhou

This week's interview was a complete surprise. When Nancy Zhou came over to my place for lunch, the plan was to hang out and catch up, but as we started to tell our respective Beijing arrival stories, I simply had to turn on the microphone and capture hers! Nancy was born in Beijing, but moved to Sacramento when she was 11, switched to Los Angeles for college, and stayed there for several years afterwards. Then, a family illness brought her back to Beijing for a visit- but the Sichuan earthquake in 2008 kept her here, and even forced a career change. Nancy shares what it was like to go from living in China, to growing up American, then to coming back as an adult. It's a complex story that challenges typical notions of identity and definitions of "home."
