Violinist Knocks Out My Camera And Conductor Catches It During Rehearsal of Respighi's Suite

9/23/2020

Last Monday I went to the rehearsal of Ottorino Respighi's Suite in G Major for Organ and Strings at Vilnius University St John's church. Just before we started to play I adjusted the camera angle to point at my keyboards. When I was ready, the conductor gave the sign and we started to play the 1st movement. Only 7 seconds into the piece, the violinist who was standing closest to me accidentally knocked out my camera but the conductor caught it instantly while still conducting and I was able to intercept it while playing with one hand. It was really fun.
