Nancy, I may not have made myself clear, for which I apologize. It is
now my understanding that the Saito Orchestra is a full time
organization, and that Leister is the permanent first clarinet in that
orchestra, not merely a travelling virtuoso. That is now his full time
job, just as being first in Berlin was some time ago.

cities around the world, in addition to all the other playing he does,
how does he choose where to make his home?
