Well, we did it! We not only got through Bartók without having to stop and regroup, some of it was actually musical and fun as well! A colleague of ours has said that there is no agony more exquisite than the first performance of a difficult piece, and this was no exception. However, the goal of this warmup performance was to take the training wheels off and see how we’d do. I’m now very much looking forward to our performance Sunday afternoon in Salem!
