Day after the first concert, driving to Cambridge and doing it all over again! Every time we rehearse, perform, i can feel it improving and me and the orchestra is feeling much more connected.I also met my old music teacher from Long Bay College! He is now the head of performing arts at St Peters College in Cambridge, what a surprise! With him watching me perform from the audience seat, it was a very memorable concert.
