Today- June 3rd- consisted of an evening zoom for the Beyond the Stage Virtual Interview Series created just for the donors of the North Carolina Symphony. One of the most interesting topics discussed was the process of recording for streaming events. As seen in the picture below, the people who operate the cameras must know how to read a complex score with ease, and prepare the camera in advance for different instruments’ important moments.

And my time with the North Carolina Symphony doesn’t stop here. There is a concert at Koka Booth this Saturday at 8 pm as part of the North Carolina Symphony’s Summerfest that I will help run. I will be working backstage for rehearsals throughout the day and will also have concert duty that night. I look forward to this hands-on experience and all future work with the North Carolina Symphony!

Today, May 27th, was another very fun day! I spent the morning working in the box office, preparing envelopes to be sent out with parking passes for the upcoming concert. You can look at this video to see how I prepared them before inserting the passes (video better seen on phone).

Tickets!

Then, I learned all about the behind the scenes operations of buying tickets to concerts and even observed a few calls being answered and tickets being sold. Again, today I learned a ton about ticket sales and everything else that goes on in the box office!
