\nWieniawski – Violin Concerto No. 2<\/p><\/blockquote>\nI don’t think that covers everything (I’m working up the Martinu Rhapsody-Concerto for a summer festival concerto appearance and a new solo piece for June) but it gives you the idea of what high season is like for a typical orchestral player (and we’re all pretty grumpy right now – did I mention that we’ve played 219 days without a contract?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
