I play in a professional orchestra and in an amator orchestra. I like them both. The prof. orchestra plays not to hard works and perfectionise it. The amator orchestra plays very hard and cool peaces like the firebird and things of Bartok.

It's not what I would call a professional orchestra, but alot of professionals are in it. It's called Evergreen Community Orchestra. What I like about it is that it's open to everyone, and it's like having one big musical family. What I don't like about it is that since so many of us are professional or local teachers, it tends to be competitive, under a mask of friendly challenge. lol, do you know what I mean?

Yes, I do know what you mean. 3nodding OYO's a lot like that but for the younger set. It's pretty much official now, I'm going to be an Orchestral musician. neutral

I'm not currently in a professional orchestra, but I plan on joining one near me very soon. My private director feels that I am definitely good enough, and I can't wait to sign up! biggrin

You get to meet a lot of fellow dorks. ^ ^

I'm not in what I would call a "Professional orchestra" but my orchestra played with one during a concert. We weren't supposed to play all the songs that the PO would (They were to play The Nutcracker suite by Tchaikovsky) but somehow, I ended up playing all the songs anyway. And it was really fun working with them, nice people 3nodding

Curious: Has anyone played in Carnegie Hall? I was asked to play in the extra-curricular orchestra of a fellow student who is going to be conducting us. He has played in Carnegie Hall before, as a violist, but I have not. If any of you have gone there, could you tell me what to expect? sweatdrop

And that affects how the audience hears the performance. But all together, the acoustics are mind-blowing. Everything reverberates off the walls and of course the regal-looking details and seats is a magnificent perk and a huge amount of ego is added to your head. xp And besides the inside, the brick detail is just as impressive. rofl

Nifty.
The acoustics are good off the stage, you mean, but not onstage? That's weird...

Kalile Alako Nifty. The acoustics are good off the stage, you mean, but not onstage? That's weird... That's basically how the Meyerson in Dallas works, too. You can't hear much of anything onstage except yourself, and those immediately around you, but you finish and the sound just hangs in the air, echoing back toward you. It's an amazing sound from the audience the whole time.

That makes sense.
Unfortunately, our conductor got himself in trouble, so we're discontinuing the orchestra. I'll have to find another conductor person with connections. xd
