That is very good to hear!

Here in Atlanta, the Atlanta symphony is starting to mobilize again. They’ve been doing recording sessions, chamber group concerts around the area, and they’ll have a “legit” season again starting in August (legit meaning full-scale Tchaikovsky and Mahler works).

A few days ago I got invited to attend an ASO mini-concert: it was a Tchaikovsky 5 recording session but they turned it into a concert open to donors/supporters and close connections of the orchestra. There were a good 150-200 of us there so it wasn’t like there were 5 of us there. We were their first live audience since the pandemic began. All of us could tell the musicians were happy to play for an audience again, and we the audience erupted after they finished. Right there it really made me realize how much we took for granted getting together and playing together.

The youth groups here also got to play quite a bit. I went to three concerts by two different youth bands/orchestras since January; always felt safe and the people around me felt it too. And man could the kids play! They played as if there was never a pandemic and a lot of them are pursuing music in college so the pandemic (at least here in my area) was more of a small wrinkle for them. Most importantly in my opinion was their resilience and love for music that kept them going.

At my university, they’re lifting almost all restrictions starting August. They’re requiring proof of vaccination. My professor sent me the audition list for ensembles, meaning we will have auditions like normal and ensembles like normal.

Things everywhere are finally starting to come back.
