The beauty of repeating a single note with Martha Anne Toll Passions & Prologues

Martha Anne Toll has lived a musical life. She was raised with siblings who formed a family string quartet, studied with a world class teacher for viola, and spent countless hours perfecting the singular notes that, collectively, make beautiful music. In addition to music, Martha has a love of books few can match, interviewing authors and reviewing stories for NPR while she’s also spent a lifetime in social justice.
In this discussion, Adam and Martha discuss how her passion for music surrounded her childhood, the teacher who helped her understand the intricacies of her instrument, and her exceptional debut novel, Three Muses.
