Outdoor Orchestra Performance trains and shows more our professionalism?

Cultural Centre, Carnegie Hall, Goldener Saal… Classical Music fans always buy tickets and go inside the music halls to listen to classical music. Therefore, professional musicians usually perform indoor more than outdoor.



In an indoor environment, the performance is undoubtedly more successful as the acoustic is better. The humidity is more stable which is good for woodwind instruments. The most important thing is that the whole performance will not be affected by the weather. If there is heavy raining and thunderstorm, the show may need to be cancelled.


Of course, there is still uncountable accident that can influence the show. The following video shows a performance by Vienna Chamber Orchestra last year. A dog suddenly came out and “disturbed” the orchestra members.


Luckily, the dog did not bark or bite people. The most crucial is that the members are professional and concentrated on the show so the show can ran through fluently. 
Performing outside really gives musicians many surprises that they need to change according to the situation. Especially for orchestra, they need to cooperate. If one member goes wrong, the whole orchestra maybe fail.
