inside the orchestra

Violist Sam Bergman has a great illustration of how different it is to hear an orchestra from the audience’s point of view than from a seat in the orchestra.  Sam’s a violist with the Minnesota Orchestra, which is on a European tour right now.  Their first stop was the Barbican Centre in London, where the videos were made.  Sam and his stand partner sound great!  After listening/watching these two vids, I guarantee you’ll wonder how we all manage to do it day in and day out!
