Toyota Classics 2008 Vienna Operetta Orchestra

[janshim]

The Toyota Concert series—having served as official photographer second year running and I got to meet CADAQUES ORCHESTRA and SEAN GHAZI last year and this year, the VIENNA OPERETTA ORCHESTRA (featuring AMY MASTURA)—that’s quite an honour and I hope to carry fourth my Classics portfolio in the years to come. This post combines images from the rehearsal and evening event and being among the early birds at the venue, I ventured upstage to get acquainted with the instruments and other interesting elements.

Well, from what I have observed, some of the musicians do get distracted and this one in particular routinely checks out the performance. I guess when you're a seasoned musician, you know your stuff so well to the point you can literally perform with eyes closed. I used to dread composing a scene and people start talking to me. It breaks concentration but today, I tend to be able to do both but prefer to shoot in peace.
