<description>&lt;p&gt;Canadian violinist &lt;strong&gt;Yolanda Bruno &lt;/strong&gt;spoke to me about her new album &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dear Jeanne and &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;her film &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Immortal Serafin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, which both honour the late &lt;strong&gt;Jeanne Lamon&lt;/strong&gt;, the renowned baroque violinist, and Music Director of &lt;strong&gt;Tafelmusik&lt;/strong&gt; for 34 years. Yolanda explains how she explores the story of Jeanne’s 1759 Santo Serafin baroque violin, which was generously loaned to Yolanda for one year. You’ll hear a few clips from the album, including Jeanne’s masterful string trio arrangement of Bach’s iconic &lt;em&gt;Ciaccona, &lt;/em&gt;as well as a taste of a Leclair duo with&lt;strong&gt; Julia Wedman, &lt;/strong&gt;another important mentor for Yolanda,&lt;strong&gt; and a &lt;/strong&gt;work by &lt;strong&gt;Beth Silver&lt;/strong&gt; honouring Jeanne’s Dutch-Jewish heritage. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yolanda reflects on what it means to live more sustainably with her partner, the accordionist &lt;strong&gt;Michael Bridge,&lt;/strong&gt; who was previously featured on this podcast. She shared how her her annual project &lt;strong&gt;Music for Your Blues &lt;/strong&gt;has impacted her life, as well as a very&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;memorable experience performing in a &lt;strong&gt;high-security penitentiary, which &lt;/strong&gt;taught her about connection and dignity, and the value of live music. I also wanted to shine a light on Yolanda’s brilliant first ablum, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Wild Swans&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, featuring &lt;strong&gt;11 women composers&lt;/strong&gt;, recorded with pianist &lt;strong&gt;Isabelle David.&lt;/strong&gt; You’ll hear short excerpts&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;by &lt;strong&gt;Lera Auerbach and&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Kelly-Marie Murphy. &lt;/strong&gt;We end the episode with Yolanda’s insights about &lt;strong&gt;avoiding burnout &lt;/strong&gt;by achieving balance in her life&lt;strong&gt; using the idea of longer cycles of time, &lt;/strong&gt;which I loved&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/yolanda-bruno"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Complete Show Notes with All the Links! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.yolandabruno.com/"&gt;Yolanda Bruno Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;photo: Curtis Perry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(00:00) Intro&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(02:34) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dear Jeanne and &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;her film &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Immortal Serafin, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Jeanne Lamon, Tafelmusik&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(12:25) Jeanne’s arrangement of Bach Ciaconna with clip (Yolanda with Julia Wedman, Christina Mahler - J.S.
