		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing like a big performance to motivate you to fine-tune your practice routine. I&#8217;m performing Ingolf Dahl&#8217;s Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Wind Ensemble in less than 2 weeks and in these last few weeks, I have been practicing like mad. But more than that, the increased practicing has been a catalyst to my [...]]]></description>

There are about a dozen of us in the &#8220;green room&#8221; – dancers, singers, musicians, actors – all laughing, talking, touching up makeup and singing softly. There is a lot going on.
