Monday’s rehearsal will focus again on Carmina Burana, all movements. We’ve made the decision to keep me on stage, and use Leslie Mac Pherson as a relay conductor out in the the house, probably under the light, which is conveniently located center orchestra under the balcony. On Monday, I need to video record me conducting each movement so she has an idea of what to expect to follow.

We will not have the soloists tomorrow night, so I will have to ask for parts to be played for the recording only.

The rehearsal will conclude with a short punch list of items from Bernstein and Ticheli, including whirlies and wine glasses.

Next Monday’s rehearsal on May 5 will be in Scarsdale, as TMH is not available. We’ll have directions and parking info ready for you on Monday.

If you haven’t seen this, check out this YouTube video of the misheard lyrics from O Fortuna. It will give you a good giggle.
