Orchestra
An orchestra is an instrumental ensemble of about 100 players with string, brass, woodwind sections, and usually percussion. Smaller groups are in the "Ensemble" category.
Lansing Symphony
In 2005 and 2006 I was in charge of recording the concert series. I would arrive to the hall that morning and hang the microphones as close to the same setup as possible from concert to concert. I also took the project through editing and mastering.

John Morris Russell, Guest Conductor
Dmitri Berlinsky, Violin
Brent Lee - Gatineau River
Johannes Brahms - Violin Concerto, Op. 77, D Major
Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 4, Op. 36, f minor
I REALLY liked this conductor. He worked the orchestra like mad, and the excerpt here is a test of how far they can go. Of course the LSO picked a much nicer conductor who will treat them nice and play pretty old songs….. and probably not improve as well as they could with Russell.
