Meadow's Chamber Orchestra

Last week I played the Faure Pavane with the Meadow's Chamber Orchestra. I was quite nervous because I never knew anyone in the orchestra. Also we only had one rehearsal the day before the concert. It was nothing like anything I have ever done before, there were only two clarinets and normally I am used to playing with about eight! It was very exposed so you have to concentrate extremely hard because if you don't come in there is no one to cover you. The concert was amazing. It was a great experience and I am glad I did it. Everyone in the orchestra were very friendly, helpful and great musicians.
