Another day of orchestrating chaos, literally. The choir arrived on time, which is always a miracle, and I had to remind them that a crescendo is not a way to start the morning. I told the pianist to silence the keys before the first bar, because apparently silence is the new tempo. The score was flawless, but my impatience with the timpani section made me think of a symphony as a strict school where everyone has to keep perfect silence. I’ll be fine with a perfect encore, if only the critics will notice my demanding standards. #ConductorLife #Perfectionist 😏
