Kudos to that drummer:trophy-yellow-smiling: If everyone had played with the same heart and passion as she did this would have been an excellent performance.

Being surrounded by the sound of an orchestra is like when your mum comes and wraps you in a warm embrace. You feel safe even if you make a mistake.
