Garden Proms" are not a one-man show. It's a learning process for all involved. Our boys are organizing the musicians and conduct rehearsals. Our daughter Rachel is the photographer and creates videos and articles for the press. Together with the council we publish the concerts in the community newspaper, via e-mail, Facebook and of course by 'mouth to ear'. If necessary, we drive guest musicians back and forth and even make sure to bring them pizza before the show! On the morning before the concert we all help with moving a large amount of equipment to the center, decorate the stage and prepare the hall. Sometimes last-minute solutions and rehearsals are necessary. For example, shortly before the last event it turned out that two musicians, who were supposed to perform in chamber ensembles, were injured in accidents and a third player could not bring his harp from afar as his car broke down. Yedidia had only a few hours to arrange an alternative program! On another occasion we found ourselves until the very last moment without a single chair for the audience, because they were used in a parallel event at the school! No music academy in the world teaches how to deal with such emergencies! Fortunately there are people with a lot of good will to help, so eventually things always work out. The young people have learned not to give in to last-minute crises and developed a sound commitment to the audience. We encourage them to be optimistic, patient and give credit to each other. The world of classical music is extremely competitive and it seems that people involved find it difficult to care for other artists. They tend to worry only about themselves. Our concerts are for all of us a good lesson in cooperation, diplomacy, precise organization and mutual encouragement!"
