First
Concert Jitters
Hi All
I would like to ask
everyone to have positive thoughts this Saturday evening. The
"Doctors Orchestra" is having its first concert. Here's what we're
playing.
Grieg: Orchestersuite Op. 46,
Sibelius:
Karelia-Suite Op. 11,
Schubert: Unfinished Symphony
Rehearsal last night was shaky. The church sactuary is a
cavern and the acoustics are bad, there is no space and the
orchestra is spread out. The concert could be great  or a
disaster  .
If
anyone on this board lives in or near Houston and would like to
attend, e-mail me and I will send you the E-flyer.

Somehow the adrenaline kicks in and
the shaky spots are solid. Don't ask me how. I'm nowhere near
Houston, but I can certainly relate to first-concert jitters, and
will definitely make a note to think of you guys at the appropriate
time (which for me is Eastern Standard). Have a great time!!!!

Concentration kicks in too and you
forget about being nervous. You'll be fine. Be sure to write back
when it's over and tell us how it went.

Re: how

My worst fears did not come true.
The concert when off without a hitch. The hall was packed and we
sounded the best we have ever sounded in the three months we've been
rehearsing. The comments from folks I invited were from pleasantly
surprised to amazed. A lot of the credit goes to our conductor's
dedication and talent. Thanks to all for your support. We start
rehearsing for our spring concert next week.

To Paul,
3 WHOLE MONTHS between
concerts !!! What a luxury. All my orchestra gets between concerts
is 6 weeks - it's a grind sometimes.
