There's a particular magic to being backstage during a performance. It's a different, workaday intimacy. *listening intently* #spcolive

A morning concert by @thespco is one of the most energizing, civilized ways to start a day. #spcolive

by Julia Schrenkler via twitter 3/14/2014 4:00:52 PM
I can imagine @IngridFliter 's fingers dancing weightlessly across the keys one moment, then intently striking them the next. #spcolive

by LukeTaylor_MN via twitter 3/14/2014 4:03:04 PM
This Beethoven piano concerto performed by @IngridFliter & @thespco really is lovely/enchanting. Tune in via @ClassicalMPR ! Do it! #spcolive

Aaron Grad wrote @thespco 's program notes and without them, I'm nothing here at #spcolive . Lovely work about lovely work.

by Julia Schrenkler via twitter 3/14/2014 4:08:44 PM
Our band @theSPCO sounds fab. My last word @classicalMPR just as Scott Yoo lifted his arms...hmmmm

This audience knows its live concert etiquette, but if you're applauding between movements in your work cube, we won't judge. #spcolive

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 3/14/2014 4:16:17 PM
Certainly a lot of attention is given to the piano soloist, but just listen how hard the strings are working during those fills. #spcolive

by LukeTaylor_MN via twitter 3/14/2014 4:18:49 PM
Huge applause for @IngridFliter for her performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2 at #spcolive

Q for Thomas Kornacker, retired @TheSPCO violinist: Edo de Waart withdrew from this program. How does this affect orchestra? #spcolive

by St Paul Chamber Orch via twitter 3/14/2014 4:25:31 PM
Kornacker: Edo withdrew because of a back injury. The orchestra members prepare in advance regardless of who's conducting... #spcolive

by St Paul Chamber Orch via twitter 3/14/2014 4:26:39 PM
Kornacker: ... so it's actually harder on the substitute conductor than the orchestra, since he only has a few days' notice. #spcolive

#spcolive Rex Levang double checks: Notice on [Edo], "is that what it was, about two days?" We ask: can you hear it?

#spcolive Today was the "absolute maiden voyage" of Rex Levang appearing @theordway for @thescpo pre-concert chat. "The crowd was great!"

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 3/14/2014 4:32:01 PM
Q for Thomas Kornacker: For a musician, how many hours of practice go into one concert? #spcolive

by St Paul Chamber Orch via twitter 3/14/2014 4:32:53 PM
#spcolive Question for Rex Levang, "What was it that drew Mendessohn to The Hebrides?"

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 3/14/2014 4:33:09 PM
#spcolive Rex replies, "[Mendelssohn] wanted to see the famous, rugged scenery - including Fingal's Cave."

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 3/14/2014 4:34:23 PM
Kornacker: We have 5 rehearsals for each concert. Individuals prepare many hours in advance, starting weeks before 1st rehearsal. #spcolive
