If you've ever wondered what a symphony musician's life is like - the joys and the stresses, the euphoria and the tedium, the intensity, the pleasures, the humor - you'll find it in this fascinating storytelling hodgepodge of travelogue, history, and memoir as you travel with Elias on an unforgettable journey.

Gerald Elias was one of the few musicians who performed with the Boston Symphony in its history-making concert tour to China in 1979 and its triumphant return 35 years later. During those intervening decades, the world, including the world of symphony orchestras, has seen a sea change. Symphonies & Scorpions is a chronicle of these changing times.

(Photographs in the paperback edition are in black and white. The hardcover with full-color photographs, is a COLLECTOR'S ITEM.)
