Very hot greetings from Florida! I have a question and need some input. I've played first chair for 8-9 years in a community orchestra. Last year we got a new conductor who instituted a schedule whereby we are to rehearse the day of a concert. Concert is at 3, rehearsal from 1-2pm,though it often runs to 2:30pm. Very rough on the "lip" even though I try to take it easy and save best efforts for actual concert. To me this is very unprofessional,as I think the time to learn what we need to know is at the four regular weekly rehearsals. Any thoughts? I play in an orchestra that does exactly that. My assistant plays 90% of the rehearsal and gets principal pay for the rehearsal. I play my solos and pretty much watch the music go by.
