Welcome back to the Per Service Podcast!

It’s so good to be back here with you all again.  I know some of you were worried that we weren’t coming back after a long break this summer….but we are definitely back in gear and have some great episodes coming up this season.

If you’re new to the podcast, this is a show for classical musicians who are discovering what it means to have a happy and successful life in the performing arts. Every two weeks we host these conversations to talk about the challenges we face and some inspiration and encouragement we have found to overcome them.

With that said, this isn’t a typical episode today.  We took some time off this summer, and a lot has happened in that time. So rather taking up a lot of time in an episode to fill everybody in, we’re doing it here in this season preview of sorts.

In short your hosts are Anna Luce, a violinist in New York City, Christian Marshall a violist in Graz Austria, Jessica Wiersma-a violinist in Indianapolis, and me I’m Michael O’Gieblyn, I’m a violinist in Boca Raton, Florida which still sounds funny to say

One last thing, we would like to thank Ficks Music Publishing for providing the hosting for this show and for standing by us during our summer hiatus. For your sheet music needs, check out ficksmusic.com

They’ve been super busy this summer, not only do they carry sheet music for every instrument, but they also have sheet music for vocalists as well.  For the month of September, they are offering free shipping on ALL orders- as in, no minimum purchase.

That’s crazy! 

But best of, as a thank you to our listeners if you use the promo code PERSERVICE, to get 10% off your order!
