Musical chairs - Mahler Symphony No.8

For the Mahler Symphony No. 8 concert, that having two orchestras combined, it was decided that the SASO (former name of ASO) players would play on the first, third, fifth desks etc for the first half of the concert with MSO on the 2nd, 4th etc. For the second half of the concert, the orchestras swapped places.

It was an exciting experience to play with another orchestra like the MSO and to play this piece at such an occasion.
