If you’re in New York on May 18, be sure to catch a con­cert. That day is shap­ing up to be a witch­ing hour for com­mu­nity orches­tras, none of whom appar­ently are on speak­ing terms with the oth­ers. If they were it wouldn’t hap­pen that the Brook­lyn Sym­phony, New York Sym­phonic Arts Ensem­ble, Broad­way Bach Ensem­ble, Green­wich Vil­lage Orches­tra, Met­ro­pol­i­tan Sym­phony of New Jer­sey, and prob­a­bly a few more.

Of course, every­one wants to do a big piece to end the sea­son, and every­one is scram­bling try­ing to secure enough musi­cians — most of whom play in more than one of the groups — to cover all the parts. As for myself, I’m involved with three of them reg­u­larly so I’m going with Broad­way Bach.

It’d be cool of all these groups could com­bine resources and rent out Carnegie or some­thing for the day and put on a real event. All day, one group after another, and every orches­tra could be fully staffed.
