Before I tell stories about how amazing our one "off day" was and all the beautiful things we saw, I figured I'd give you an idea of a week in the life of a Saarburg staff collaborative pianist. It's fun and busy! I get to play in concerts Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, so it will be fun.
Ready, go:
Monday:
9:30-11:00, 12:30-1:15 rehearsals
(lunch at Hospital @ 1:30 every day)
3:00-4:30 rehearsals
6 - 6:45 lesson to accompany
7:45 faculty dinner (a special treat!)
Tuesday:
9:30 - 1:15 rehearsals/ lessons to accompany
3:00-5:15 lessons
Concert that evening
Wednesday:
11:45-1:15 rehearsals (A later start -- yes!)
3-4:30 rehearsals
Concert that evening
Thursday:
9:00 - 1:15 rehearsals
3-5:15 rehearsals
Concert that evening
Friday: (lightest day!)
11-1:30 rehearsals, 4:30-5:15 rehearsals
Concert that evening (but this is the one I don't play)
Final day: Saturday:
4:00-6:30 possible dress rehearsals
Final concert plus farewell banquet
All in all, not a bad schedule considering I'm playing for 6 different pieces/groups plus 6 singers' lessons. Last week was comparable to this week, except my schedule extended to 6 pm every day. That was the one benefit of not having concerts every day last week - a later rehearsal schedule.
I enjoy working with all the different people that I have met this past week, and look forward to all the performances. Also, just in case you thought I was just traipsing around Germany on vacation these two weeks...now you know I AM actually working ;).
