Making magic in people's lives with the Del Sol Quartet, Sounds Current

Have you ever had an experience of working with someone at the top of their game that pushes you, artistically (in a good way), to be and do more than you have in the past? A project that streeeetches your skills in a way that is at times uncomfortable and exhausting, but in the end you see (or in this case hear) what you've created and say, "Wow! That really is good."? And then suddenly, you find yourself in new rooms, having new conversations, with new people, about even more inspiring topics? Okay… well if you haven't yet had that experience, go ahead and live vicariously through me for the next hour and maybe you'll get a taste of what I mean. Let me introduce you to the Del Sol Quartet, currently composed of Charlton Lee on viola, Hyeyung Sol Yoon and Ben Keith on violins, and Kathryn Bates on cello. And if you've been paying attention, you may know that I've been having the pleasure to collaborate with Del Sol on the first season of their podcast Sounds Current , which was a 2024 official selection at the Tribeca Audio Storytelling Festival and won a Sold Signal Award for Artists & Designers Shaping Culture. But awards aside… This episode isn't just about creating a podcast, though we do talk a little bit about Sounds Current in the second half. It's about the joys and tension of being part of a group of artists (rather than a solo creator), pushing yourself to do something new in order to move society, and making art that means something valuable even when, and especially if, it doesn't make sense economically.
