Happened today! Sadly my parents had to cancel at the last minute coming up (up? down? across..) from Oxford so I was Alone in the audience (...in the nicely large audience I mean, and no I wasn't, I sat with some of the staff). But the uni orchestra sounded very good!!
To check out further:
♫ Sibelius 7! Just full of lots of lovely Sibelius bits ahh. I kind of forget now because it was the first thing that they played. It was a piece the conductor/my supervisor actually said he's always wanted to do and could conduct every day for the rest of his life happily ;;; Aaaa. They played it really well.
♫ Wagner: Parsifal, an Orchestral Quest (arr. Henk de Vlieger) To check out especially for the pretty specific LotR moments I heard there!
♫ And finally my piece :) Actually played in between the other two. It went really well I think, and they also recorded the rehearsal so I should be able to splice together a good recording over the like one two notes that weren't quite perf! People said nice things! Ooof, it's just really hard to have any... idea of how it went I guess because I'm too close to it! I definitely don't mean to sound lukewarm about this, it was an amazing experience (and.. yeah so much more positive than anything like this before, not that I've done anything on this scale) -- I think it'll settle in a bit maybe!

As a sort of sidenote to my amazing html 5 audio discovery....... THAT ATE A LOT OF BANDWIDTH! Dreamwidth specifically, and most specifically of all the photos tag, so I have taken that tag away for now. What I'm not quite sure about is does it automatically load the entire track on pageload, because it sort of looks like it does. And that would definitely be conducive to Issues! Next, is there a way for it not to do this (probably, actually.) [ETA: yep, I think this is it. Oops, that's an embarrassing mistake!]
Meanwhile, the music host I've been complaining about because it just upped and died (the site was still there but no media played or could be uploaded) for upwards of three weeks without explanation... seems to be back! Again, without any explanation, so free or not I will probably be looking to continue to move, but in less of a hurry now.
