Sometimes it’s just nice to be enraged.

Today as I was playing violin in a mask at a wedding (I need the money & was like 30 feet away from other people) and the mask kept going into my eyes or getting caught on my chinrest I was thinking about all the orchestras planning to meet with string players in masks and wondering if any of them have tried it yet

I been thinking of putting together a virtual pit for Broadway. Basically, we each record our part and sync it together in a multicam video. For example, I’m working on I Know It’s Today from Shrek with my friends. If anyone would be interested, instrumentalists & vocalist, please like the post so I can see if this is something everyone would like to do! We could all vote on what song to cover when it happens.
