\u201cI try to make others see the expression and the beauty in the music,\u201d Simon said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simon is a strong proponent of the belief that classical music is meant for everyone \u2013 regardless of age or background, and devotes part of his time to performing for school districts and various civic and social organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
