Nine extras, six string players, two brass and an oboist were added to the group, though I’ve no clue why anyone would use a MIDI wind controller to imitate an oboe while the real deal is sitting 15 feet away, silently on the lap of an actual oboist.
I read it here.
I’d not even heard of this until I read about it at Classical Notes.
Somehow I don’t think I’ll be going to see this. (But when do I go see movies anyway?)

“There’s something addicting about taking auditions,” Pearlman said. “You want to get better. You want to pass more rounds. You want to get to the finals. You want to win the job.”
I most certainly was never addicted to auditions. Fortunately I was blessed to land my orchestra position when I was a young’un and I was happy where I landed so I didn’t do many auditions. Whew!
