For those not up on things orchestral, the concertmaster is the first of the first violins. He/she is the one who comes out just before the conductor and strikes the A for orchestra tuning. He/she also plays all the violin solos in orchestral repertoire. It's sort of the liason position between the conductor and the general orchestral players. It was a big deal for Reading, since Chris is their first new concertmaster in 26 years. He played several selections with piano, and answered questions from the audience. Lighting was almost non-existent, but I was able to squeeze a few shots with Ilford XP2 and my trusty Elamrit 135/2.8 wide open at 1/60: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=812385&size=lg Jim Shulman Bryn Mawr, PA - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
