Practicing, rehearsing......

Some thoughts from a member of the orchestra:
Practicing, rehearsing, listening to the words from all different teachers and trying to do my best using them. Waking up early, playing all day, going to bed late, exhausted after the day’s work, but richer than the night before. It’s hard though. It steals every last bit of everyone’s energy. But I try to keep my head up and work even harder, to reach the result that me myself can accept and be proud of, plus even more. Because going to America with my music is the greatest thing that I as a musician has ever done, and better than best is the only result I’m after. Of course I’m tired and blinded by the music after just one week of non-stop rehearsing, but that feeling hits everyone after doing something this intense, right? The best thing is that those feelings are gone only minutes after the last rehearsal, and I actually found myself missing the orchestra the day after… 

When thinking about the orchestra and the adventure it lets med be a part of, I feel nothing but gratitude (and worry about not knowing the music good enough…). I feel lucky for being surrounded by people who think this is important and do all of their abilities to make things work, and people who want to create music and make wonderful memories together with me. I was chosen to be a part of this, so I will do my best. And I’m so excited about the tour so there will be no problem playing well.


I know that our country has the ability to touch people with our way of creating and sharing music, the love we all live for. This is 2012, and I know that we are ready to prove the world I am right!!!
