Oh my goodness! I can’t stop smiling as I listen… after years of opera-going, it’s so nice to finally get to know the people who make up the orchestra. I had no idea I had so much in common with these fab musicians! They’re just like us. It’s so fascinating to listen to what their typical days may be like. Classical music can have a “stuffy” perception but I see that it’s not the case at all! It’s given me a whole new level of understanding and appreciation I never would have had! Thank you, Jul... more
