Do you have any preperformance rituals?

They’re pretty boring. I like to have a nap in the afternoon and then have a little exercise and something light to eat so I’m not thinking of food during the concert. I’m not nervous, usually, when the concert starts, but I can be anxious earlier in the day. One tip for young musicians to combat stage fright is to be very prepared. It sounds pedantic, but your preparation has to be rock-solid.
