That's right, another last-minute Awesöme Orchestra session post! 1-4p, Uptown Body & Fender, Oakland (yes, a body shop *and* an arts space). John Williams, Alexis Alrich, Verdi. Extremely casual, free admission, come & say hello! More info: https://awesomeorchestra.org/events/session-82-uptown-body-fender
(One thing I enjoy about new music/composers' concerts is that they are usually a delightful mess. For example, I am mostly playing violin and viola tonight, but I will have my bassoon for one short movement in which what we play will only approximate what is on the page.)
Playing new music by 6 local composers with SF Composers' Chamber Orchestra tonight, 8 pm, Lakeside Presbyterian Church and on livestream!
(Tickets required for livestream; follow the link to get yours in advance!)
So go into this knowing that as soon as a job description is published, it is no longer accurate.
So the question isn't, am I qualified for this role or not. The questions is, do I want to join an ongoing conversation on a team that agreed to this description of this role, and what do I bring to that conversation?
When you look at a job description, you're looking at the end result of a long and mostly hypothetical negotiation: that is, this is the description of the role of a person that will (we think) contribute to what this team is (we think) trying to accomplish, that was agreed to by the people above, below and next to the place in the project where that person will live. It's not the job, it's how people could agree to describe what they imagine the job will be.
seen on Twitter; not my joke
"What's this pile of clothes?"
"Those are my friend's."
"And this Nine Inch Nails CD?"
"That's the 'Closer' CD I stole from my enemy."
"And why are they all together in your closet?"
"Well, you know what they say..."
