Ah, tension is awful when playing. I get very nervous sometimes and make terrible mistakes. A couple of things I've found:

1. I'm less tense if I'm well-rested. Sounds silly but good sleep the night or a nap before rehearsal or a concert seems to help a lot.

2. There are a number of relaxation exercises around. The type I've found most helpful involved some slow deep breathing and a serious of exercises involving the tensing and relaxing of certain muscles. If you Google Relaxation Techniques, you should find several variants one which might be comfortable for you.

Good luck!

Walter
