MY first encounter with Carlos Kalmar, Conductor of the Oregon Symphony:
I was backstage at a rehearsal, shadowing the Operations Manager. Carlos comes out of the dressing room, and Anne moves to introduce me.
"Carlos, this is Emily Nelson. She's shadowing me."
he looks at me skeptically: "I was about to say, who the hell are you?"
Anne continues as he walks on, "She did an internship wth the London philharmonic"
he makes weird, not very impressed noises and walks away.
I think I made a great impression. Just awesome.
