Last weekend I had the fortunate experience of getting a private backstage/behind the scenes tour of Walt Disney Concert Hall. I made a huge mistake by not taking my camera. I felt certain that I would not be allowed to take any photos, and for some of the tour I know I would not have been allowed to photograph anything-but there were opportunities to snap some great shots on the stage/conductors podium. I think I can get another tour though. There is original art work from Fantasia backstage that the public has never seen. Not to mention a music library that to me is a gold mine worth more than any amount of money some rich fucker could ever acquire. I am always in awe of the concert music world. If I really do get the opportunity to work for the LA Phil, I will be floored with pride and a sense of accomplishment. Nothing I have done with my musical life so far could be as fullfilling as working with such talent.
The best part, they only hire union musicians. Why would a class act like the LA Phil need to do otherwise? Yep, I'd do backflips for them.
