progress

Tomorrow is Day 1 of the Philharmonic's Children's Concerts. We wind up playing the same 45 minute program 7 times over the course of two days. Wheeeeeee! By the 3rd time, it's easy to begin zoning out, and thinking about other things. We had our rehearsal today, and it should be a nice program.

The best part about today's rehearsal was when our conductor told us a little about what's being programmed for next year. Since it's a state secret, I can't divulge any details. But I am happy to report that we are moving in a positive direction, with great new ideas and some exciting partnerships.

As an aside, it's been refreshing to work with a conductor who still really enjoys music making, and expresses that joy so openly. It's inspiring.
