Echoes of the Orient
Well oh Well. Finally! My last concert in SPCO as a student! To be frank, I felt sad. Because I already start to miss SPCO. Overall, the concert was quite well done. Not much of mistakes here and there.
However, everything started in the wrong way. Lorry was late. Uncle dont know the way. If I was Kelvin on the lorry with the uncle, I think I will scream at the uncle and make him get off the chair and I will drive the lorry. Okay. I’m exaggerating. LOL! But YES, I definitely will scold him up down left right. Rehearsal started only at 345pm. Meaning we wasted 1hour and 45mins. Haix.
We only manage to finish the whole rehearsal at 630pm. I really want to thanks everybody for co-operating thru out. Also to all the SCH people. They really helped us alot and they are being so kind to us to use the hall till 630pm.
Heard some comments about my section. Well, to be truthful. I’m quite affected about it. Making me even more fearful of making any mistakes.
Concert started. The only thing that saddens me is the audience. The hall looks empty. I’m pretty affected by it. Oh Well. Realized that SPCO seems to be very restless in playing the pieces. Even BBCO people can feel that everyone is playing the pieces with no energy. I felt that too when playing NanDao Arirang.
Really thanks to all those that bought tickets and attend the concert. Without you people, I think the hall will be empty. Haix.
Concert finally is over. I truely have alot of thoughts. But, I cant express everything out in the blog. Too many people reading. I dont wish to offend anybody anymore. I dont wish to create another wave of having alot people blogging to reply back on my thoughts. Everybody will have their way of explaining themselves.
All I can say is, I’m quite disappointed with a few people. A few that I onced trusted so much and given them so much of chances. But what I got from them are just criticism and unwillingness for SPCO. Selfish people. Forever thinking that SPCO is never good enough for them. Forever thinking that they are too good for SPCO. To me, NOBODY is too good for ANY ORCHESTRA. It is really their own mindset. Even in the lousiest orchestra there is still something that you can learn and gain out of it.
Specially thanks to Yishan and gang. Thanks for the gift. =D
