So we're walking across the street going to Orchestra Hall and we're with a gentleman who had a suit-bag over his shoulder. He mentioned about how the rehearsals went well and he was looking forward to the evening's performance. I assumed he was a musician and commented that the conductor was well known for his baroque concerts and he says, "I'm the conductor!" We ran into him at halftime in the donor lounge and he said, "Aha, we meet again!" Super nice guy!
