Interview 59: Chatting With A Cellist

During my visit to New Orleans last month, I had a couple of fun interviews. First up was retired high school teacher and now dedicated zydeco dancer Mary Burns, and I’ve already posted part one and part two of my lunch with her.

The day after my time with Mary, I went to historic French Quarter restaurant Tujague’s — the second oldest restaurant in the Crescent City — for a leisurely lunch interview with professional cellist Daniel Lelchuk.

Originally from the Northeast, Daniel told me how he first learned about the cello, and his progression from practicing the instrument through to his current role as assistant principal cellist for the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.
