Check out this excerpt from Kyle MacMillan's profile of Claude in the Denver Post.
“Concertgoers who know Claude Sim only as the Colorado Symphony’s associate concertmaster might easily assume that he fits the stereotype of a classical musician.
You know: staid and cerebral. The kind of person who pays attention only to Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. Bruce Springsteen? Who’s that?
Such an image could hardly be more off the mark.
The 31-year-old violinist has been a musical rebel since childhood, someone for whom sonatas and symphonies have never been enough. Besides fronting occasional gigs at Dazzle, a local jazz club, he is a member of Extasis, a tango quartet that performs monthly at the Mercury Cafe.”
