Miriam Fried: A Profile

A close-up of one of the most acclaimed violinists of the day as she discloses the balance she seeks between the critical elements in her life--performance and family. Since winning the prestigious Paganini and Queen Elisabeth competitions, she has had more than 60 concerts a year, playing with the top orchestras of the world. Yet she says that it is her normal home life with her young sons and her violinist husband that makes it possible for her to survive the demands of her profession. She tells her story in her own environment--in rehearsal, at home, and during a concert appearance.
