I was complaining the other day how the school where I did my undergrad did not give ensemble credit for playing in the local symphony, which played at a much higher level and was more demanding than the university orchestra.
In response, I was told a story about a Juilliard kid who got into the New York Phil, and couldn't get ensemble credit for that!!!!
I felt better.
So, urban musician legend? Or true story? anybody know a young lad who got into the New York Phil in the last few years?
The story went that he finished his degree at Juilliard - he didn't even drop out after getting one of the most coveted jobs of the orchestral world!
How about that? Not entirely sure that I believe it, but a good story, nonetheless.
