...Years ago, I played in a semi-professional community orchestra.
Because of other 'perceived talents', I was elected to the Board of Directors.
It was interesting, watching 'business-minded people' working with 'artistic-people' to decide how to run an Orchestra. I was the only musician from the orchestra on the Board, so, of course, they placed me on the committee to advise the Conductor on the concert reperatoir (sp) for each season. The Conductor was an arrogant snob, and HATED 'Pops Concerts'! If he had to do one, we would play light, classical music, and then have a few singers sing opera.
At a meeting, one of the Directors was arguing for a 'Pops Concert' that had movie music, and the Conductor CAME UNGLUED!!!
He said that 'movie music' wasn't music...and then added 'The Musicians will be UPSET if we tell them that they HAVE TO PLAY MOVIE MUSIC'!!!
All of the other Directors looked at me...and I just 'shrugged'.
((Some of you have seen Izee' 'shrug' during r/p...and I was feeling the same emotions when I did that at the meeting.
)) That Conductor moved on, and the new, younger Conductor was much more open to what a Community Orchestra should be doing. We did some GREAT 'Pops Concerts'...and 'movie music' is as hard to play as many symphonies, and it sounds nice.
Here is a good one...
