There has been so much hype about my quintet over the past few days. We’ve had two press conferences, there are glossy posters everywhere, and tonight we are being photographed and recorded by the media! It’s a little bit fun and a little bit nerve-wracking. On one hand, we are the first woodwind quintet in the history of Bosnia, so we can just smile, look nice, and enjoy “making history” (haha). On the other hand, we are all professional musicians who want to meet high standard when we perform, especially in front of such a large audience. I’m trying not to be too nervous by reminding myself that we are well rehearsed. (We ran through the program nearly every day since I got back from Chicago.) I also hope that seeing the supportive faces of my friends in the audience will help me stay calm.
