Got our first orchestral rehearsal tonight: 7-10pm.
Couldn't finish the whole 2-hour oratorio in 3-hour practice time.
The late start and 15-min break in between could have taken up some of the time.
The double bassist and timpanist were missed today.
Had a go on several arias (plus recitatives) by professional guest soloists and choruses by the choir. Minor mistakes here and there were quite unavoidable today.
But, hey, it was still a lovely evening of music making by professional musicians and the uni choir. Aww.
The choir has been very fortunate to have an orchestra consisting of (mostly) members of the renowned Sydney Symphony Orchestra (including the concertmaster) and the internationally acclaimed Australia Ensemble - resident at UNSW.
I guess the second and final orchestral rehearsal on coming Thursday should be, uhm... , fine.

- Some ppl say I am a reasonably smiley person. Been conscious of living healthy. It can be quite challenging to balance study with other stuffs. Find cooking and excursion to art galleries enjoyable. Been blessed with privilege of being church musician. Strive to be better yet humble at the same time. And the journey has just been started...
