Orchestras have often been used to conjure up the natural world: Swans, sharks, trout, but not, as far as I know, the often maligned jellyfish.
Bill Bailey
Image
Orchestras seem content to be museums now, even as they wring their hands about dropping subscription sales and graying listeners.
Allan Kozinn
Image
Orchestras have become used to the emphasis on the separation of layers, of the ultimate precision and clarity.
Esa-Pekka Salonen
Image
Orchestras only need to be sworn at, and a German is consequently at an advantage with them, as English profanity, except in America, has not gone beyond a limited technology of perdition.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
In Hamburg, there are three major orchestras, an opera house, and one of the great concert-hall acoustics in Europe at the Laeiszhalle, in a town a fifth the size of London. And that's not unusual. In Germany, there are dozens of towns with two or three orchestras. The connection with music goes very, very deep.
Jeffrey Tate

It was not so very long ago that people thought that semiconductors were part-time orchestra leaders and microchips were very small snack foods.
Geraldine Ferraro
Image
Get the most out of everything in your life the happiness and the sadness, the success and the failure...get a good perspective of what life is all about. Let the orchestra of your life play all the notes, the high notes, the low rumblings of the difficulties and perplexities that all we all face.
Jim Rohn
Image
The other saxophones, except as solo instruments, really don't have much point in the orchestra
Gerry Mulligan
Image
To his orchestra Stop da music, stop da music! You're supposed to follow da music, not chase it all over da place.
Jimmy Durante
Image
I'm just not arbitrarily choosing to have five guitars play one type of thing. In that way there's a definite similarity between a symphony orchestra and the 100 guitar symphony.
Glenn Branca
Image
A man must pay the fiddler. In my case it so happened that a whole symphony orchestra often had to be subsidized.
John Barrymore
Image
My relationship with the Philharmonia Orchestra brought me many times to London and I will always reflect positively on that early period of development with them - their patience, their warmth, their dedication.
Gustavo Dudamel
Image
From early on, when synthesizers were first introduced into music, I liked the idea that you could get a big sound with them - electronic, but like an orchestra. And I could play it all myself. That was exciting.
John Carpenter
Image
No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.
Halford Luccock
Image
If you're playing live, I like to think of the ensemble, whether it's the duet or a forty piece orchestra, as one person. And the entire audience, whether it's twelve people or twelve thousand at Madison Square Garden, is the other person. The two of you are going to dance together tonight.
John Densmore
Image
My idea was to go to Vienna to study conducting and perhaps play in an orchestra first, so I thought before I got to Vienna I could do with a little training in Paris.
Harry Mathews
Image
I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head.
John Fahey
Image
The art of conducting consists in knowing when to stop conducting to let the orchestra play.
Herbert von Karajan
Image
There is much modern music that is better adapted to a wind combination than to a string, although for obvious reasons originally scored for an orchestra. If in such cases the interpretation is equal to the composition the balance of a wind combination is more satisfying.
John Philip Sousa
Image
You can find the whole world of a film in one instrument, or you can find a world of sound in the orchestra.
Howard Shore
Image
Every orchestra is different. Sometimes, you're blown away by a particular musician. If I'm playing the Brahms concerto, it's crucial to have a great oboe player, because we work in tandem.
Joshua Bell
Image
The piano is really the featured instrument of a 10-piece chamber orchestra. The construction is the harmonic language.
Howard Shore
Image
Eventually we want to do a puppet musical with turntables in the orchestra pit.
Kid Koala
Image
If I do not practice one day I know it. If I do not practice the next, the orchestra knows it if I do not practice the third day, the whole world knows it.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
