Unless you are the name soloist there is no room in an orchestra for anything other than technical correctness. Or at least no room for an interpretation that differs from the instruction of the conductor.

It’s a marvellous sensation though, being part of a huge ensemble, listening to what’s going on, watching the conductor and interpreting the score. It’s a real sense of achievement when you’re finished and it’s worked well.

Being in the middle of a choir it'll feel like the top of your head lifts off.

Thanks for the replies. The consensus seems to be that I should go. Read a statistic saying the average earnings 5 years after graduating are £25000 so it looks like I’ll never earn enough to start repay the student loan so there’s no point worrying about it!

Excellent. I always think it’s better to have done something, than to be able to look back twenty or so years later and wish that you’d done it.
