"A DAY AT THE RACES, A NIGHT AT THE OPERA" Julius Bannister, a violinist, spent 40 years in London's music business, playing for West End shows (Les Mis), opera, ballet, for the symphony, as a recording artist for blockbuster movies, and as a backing musician for pop and other entertainers.

He estimates that he has made more than 10,000 recordings to date! Rather than blowing his own trumpet, Mr. Bannister charts the course from a child with a love of music, to actually becoming a professional musician.
