A close look (literally) at the conductor’s role in a rehearsal situation, as observed from the co-principal viola chair of the orchestra: Greeting, looking, listening, coordinating and generally having fun making music together.
Featuring Han-Na Chang, chief conductor of the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra & Opera, at work with the orchestra in Seoul.

After landing in South Korea, and spending at least 13 hours onboard airplanes (not including the ground stops ), it was time to hit the streets of Seoul. The body craved some light exercise and a bit of fresh air.
I took my Leica cameras for a walk to capture the contrasting vibes of the city, the serene and ancient temple grounds and the hustle and bustle of a modern metropolis.

The Trondheim Symphony Orchestra & Opera has landed safely in Seoul, South Korea. I personally have been to Seoul once before, many years ago, touring all over Asia with the Trondheim Soloists and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter. Touring with a full sized symphony orchestra is something quite different, logistically, compared to travelling with a smaller string ensemble. Here are some first impressions after touching down at Incheon International Airport outside Seoul.
