Emanuel Ax

Pianist Emanuel Ax visited the campus of Southern Illinois University Carbondale recently to perform the Emperor’s Concerto with the Southern Illinois Symphony Orchestra. While Ax has performed the Concerto for over 30 years, he says he still gets a bit nervous when playing. Despite his nervousness, you can see that Ax truly loves performing. While Ax was on campus, WSIU InFocus taped an interview with Ax on the stage of Shryock Auditorium hosted by conductor Edward Benyas.
