7.45* Thought for the Day
The audience is hushed, the orchestra poised, the conductor raises his baton, and the performance begins, But what has led up to this moment? How was the programme chosen and rehearsed? Who auditioned the orchestral players and how did the conductor get his experience? Do the musicians ever get bored by Beethoven Fifth? What difference does a soloist make? What does the leader do?

Jill Burridge conducts the programme, produced by the Woman's Hour Unit.
