What is your highest virtue?
Description
We have a tremendous attraction to intolerance bred into the early life of this country, Harbison says.
Question: What is your highest virtue?
John Harbison: The hardest thing is to have compassion and forgiveness. Tolerance is also a really hard one, because some of the major issues in this country . . . you know, race, and I'd have to even say a kind of intellectual tolerance. I'm very bothered that many groups in this country are dismissive of other groups because they feel they are not as cultured and not as educated. I think we have a very tremendous attraction to intolerance almost bred into the early life of this country. So yeah. I would consider those my major virtues. And also it's, you know, so hard to apologize for things. And I'm always impressed by people who, when they've done something really wrong, don't do the standard thing which is just to make it worse and ostracize, but actually go the whole way and try to reengage the situation. And in our profession, our music profession, there are constant tests of those issues.
