    Well done. It a great achievement to be in an orchestra. I am in a chamber orchestra for school.

    No you don’t need to know by heart, but you should be able to play it a bit. Don’t feel nervous. Just make sure you establish what can and cant play to the conductor. Like I didn’t do this so my conductor ended up giving me Ravel Introduction and Allegro. I saw the music and i nearly fainted. I went to music teacher and she had to tell her that i couldn’t play that. I am playing a suite called the sekles and it not that hard.

    But good luck and i hope you do well.

    Hello.

    I recommend a Lyon and Healy from Chicago. I just got one and it is great. It has a beautiful tone and it looks stunning. Its called a chicago concert grand extended. The only down side is it is extremely heavy. But other than that it is great. Good luck!
