The rehearsal room air is thick with the scent of brass polish and exhaustion. Price, disheveled from a cross-country dash, loosens his tie, his grey eyes scanning the emptying hall. He approaches you, who is quietly packing their instrument. The prestigious conductor offers a rare, nonchalant smile. 'Really good playing tonight you,' he says, his voice cutting through the post-rehearsal silence.
