My first summer at Tanglewood [music festival] in 1988, when I was taken aside and told that I would be sharing the programme with my hero, Leonard Bernstein.
Beethoven shares the programme, however, with Stravinsky, also performed conductor-less, and the challenges of his 1928 ballet Apollon Musagète, directed by leader Matthew Truscott, were more variably met.
It shared the programme with Beethoven's Ninth, in which the choir's articulation was equally pristine, with the sopranos in particular hurling themselves fearlessly at some distinctly awkward writing.
Vast forces were again on the platform for the evening concert, the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland sharing the programme with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Donald Runnicles, who achieved not merely immaculate ensemble work but performances of personality and pizzazz.
Sharing the programme is a revival of Glen Tetley's Voluntaries, a work of impassioned, airy choreography set to music by Francis Poulenc, and Flemming Flindt's dark, sadistic little drama, The Lesson, with Johan Kobborg reprising his role as the psychotic ballet master.
Afterwards, Grainger denigrated his own music as "commonplace" while praising Darius Milhaud's Suite Française, with which it had shared the programme.
A few CHWs also shared that the programme gave them a higher status despite their gender.
A minority of teachers complained that there was inadequate information sharing about the programme and mentioned reservations about the capacities of the lay health counsellor.
Several teachers also complained about a lack of information sharing about the programme; this was addressed in the second year by monthly reports to teachers by the SHCs.
The evaluation also found that everyone who shared in the programme's implementation was motivated, the programme was easy to implement and it was adjustable, meaning that it was possible to add to it or to take things out as necessary [ 6].
