The SLSO has landed. Perhaps the most amazing news is that the orchestra is staying at the same hotel as the Phillies. So if the Phils pull off a win tomorrow night and the SLSO blows them away at Carnegie--that joint is gonna be jumpin'.
Cellist Bjorn Ranheim made it from Louisville to La Guardia to meet his bandmates. He says: "Just got to La Guardia in time to meet up with the band and head into the city on the shuttle buses. Everyone seems good. A bunch of people came into town early. [Violinist] Shawn Weil got in on Sunday and is out in Brooklyn with his bro, sister-in-law and their kids. [Double bassist] Sarah Hogan got in yesterday and is going to the Met tonight. I'm heading out with my best friend who works in the film industry. All in all, people are scattering into the wind to do NY in their own ways before coming back together for our rehearsal tomorrow afternoon on the big stage."
