Great Expectations
Sadly, all good things must come to an end, but I hope that this is the beginning, or a continuation, of the dialogue that has been taking place not only here, but across the country. First, my thanks to Drew, our moderator, for inviting me to participate on this panel and for some great advice.
As it seems that we all have many of the same thoughts I’m reminded of some other “round table” discussions in which it became clear that many people involved in our business do have the same thoughts and feelings about many issues. It has been an honor speaking with all of you and reading your thoughts and opinions.
Regarding schedules, we are about to finish a week that includes four performances (two Young People’s Concerts, one special performance featuring the music of Sir Anthony Hopkins – yes – and the first of four runouts). Rehearsals and performances are in different places every day and a colleague and I laughed as we pondered the question: “Do models feel like this during fashion week when they have seven shows in one day, all different?” Granted, they do not have the responsibility that we do as musicians, but wow!
Beth: It has been great reading your comments and if you performed with Alarm Will Sound in South Carolina earlier this year, congratulations on a great show!
Matt: This is probably not the place, but if you’re ever in need of a soloist or want to conduct the Elgar Violin Concerto, your fiddle player is right here!
Peace and good musicmaking to all.
