Well the tour is over, and I'm back to doing solo and chamber music stuff until the mid summer. The tour overall went really well, and my conducting went not to bad at all! The first concert I accidently conducted one bar in three as oposed to 4 and it threw the orchestra off for a few bars at the second concert the first violins were a bar late, and by time we got to the last concert, it went almost perfectly with only minor intonation flaws. One of the concerts was recorded and so I will be getting a cd of the concert! I'm looking forward to when I will get to hear the my piece without having to be playing or conducting! It was kind of an interesting "spring" tour as during the first concert we got quite a dump of snow. Some of us had a snowball fight which was great fun! I haven't had one of those in awhile, and before one of the concerts I got to play a bit of fooseball with a couple of musician friends! We all had so much fun, took lots of pictures, played a lot of hours, met lots of people, and just had a great time! I can hardly wait until next season. I'm going to miss all my friends that I played with this year, and many aren't going to be back next year, but many will return for yet another season. Now the next thing is getting ready for a short recital that I will be playing later this month, and whatever else might come my way, as well as a piano exam.
I'm looking forward to getting back into the proper practice routine again, and all the fun repertoire that comes with it! Well I will close for now. Bye!
