From my conducting master’s recital at Indiana University: Sibelius 2nd Symphony, 1st movement. A conducting recital at IU is an altogether strange event – logistical concerns prevent student conductors from using an actual hall for these recitals, so they kind of blur the boundaries between a performance and a dress rehearsal.

Stravinsky Octet from a chamber concert at the Pierre Monteux School. This is the end of the 1st movement ‘Sinfonia’ and the better part of the 2nd movement ‘Tema con Variazione’.
The players:
I-Yun Tu, flute
Ryan Leonard, clarinet
Heather MacLean and Daniel Curtis, bassoons
Felipe Rodriguez and Kyle Unruh, trumpets
Andrew Sharkey, trombone
Russ Zokaites, bass trombone
Brahms “Tragic Overture” This is from an Ad Hoc Concert on 2/8/09 in the IU Recital Hall. A pretty decent student pick-up orchestra, if I do say so myself.

I don’t actually smoke, but I do have a theory that all musicians should be photographed smoking.
Intense head shot intensely in need of some kind of hair product.
