For those of you who missed this year’s Pops on the River, you missed one of the really great guest conductor performances in the history of the event. Our own Laura Herring bid $2500 to conduct the Sousa March. She did so with such zest that the standing ovation exceeded any other applause that evening.
Here’s an abbreviated look to which the YouTube detail states: “Laura Herring bid on and won the chance to conduct. She did so with such enthusiasm. (We had to cut this video short. The musicians’ union prevents us from publicly showing videos of the RPO longer than 2 minutes. The applause Laura Herring received was amazing!)”
So here’s a quick look at Miss Personality, er Miss Enthusiam!
Union rules may have a place……………but to cut this short?
