Upon returning from intermission during their season finale, "Renée Fleming in Concert," concertmaster Anton Miller and Lincoln's Symphony Orchestra had a surprise for their maestro, Edward Polochick, whose birthday is May 22.
"Happy Birthday" arr. Damon Thomas Lee, 2022
i might have found my new favorite thing - surprise symphony happy birthday videos!
I'm on a binge
Same! And crying with the biggest smile while watching!
I agree❤
Me too 😂😂😂😂
It is so beautiful.
Damn imagine them practicing this for weeks, if not months, in secret just to give him a best bday present
trust me, with a good orchestra, good musicians, 15-20 minutes is more than ample for a short piece like this.
They weren't planning to rehearse it at all, but squeezed in a run-through before the dress rehearsal while the Maestro was conveniently accosted outside the hall. A magnificent orchestra and organization that I'm lucky to work for!
Nah, for an orchestra like this it took closer to 15 mins. These are professional musicians who can sight read any piece of music and do a pretty decent job of it, and that's the expectation. Something as simple as Happy Birthday would be a cakewalk. They probably played it once or twice, and that was it.
@@user-jg9rp5qf4g Exactly. Beside when you start out on an instrument of any kind, Happy Birthday is almost always one of your first songs
They could sight read it
the brass entrance at 0:55 is actually sublime oml
I'm a simple man. I hear french horn + trombone unison; I upvote.
here before it went viral :)
EY
Transcription Please Sir
same
Ooo!
Here before transcription video 😏
The maestro went nuts (understandably so!) and his reaction, together with the piece itself (and the actions/antics of the concertmaster!), are priceless!
So pure. That has to be the best reaction to one of these I've seen. And such a varied arrangement!
I also love at 1:02 where CM literally doesn't miss a beat as he grabs the baton mid-bar and swings it out into a perfect 3.
I can't stop watching this!! Love, love, love it!!!🎶🎶
I love how the violinist starts conducting & then the actual conductor ends up giving him his baton
Wow! What a beautiful arrangement, both in song and in prank. But of course, the two stars were the conductor and the semi-conductor (pun intended). The conductor's reactions were priceless; I can practically hear his thoughts going "What is even happening?" and "Well, I'm out of a job now." The violinist who not only began the arrangement, then began to conduct it ( even using the baton when the maestro presented it to him mid-performance), and finally offering his violin only to take it away. Everything about it was hilarious and priceless!
“Semi-conductor” is comedy genius.
That’s actually wholesome
Это самое блистательное исполнение! Браво! ❤😂🎉
Всем любви и здоровья!
I love how the audience started laughing right when they were playing happy birthday it was classic 😂😃
見てるこっちまで幸せな気持ちになります
ありがとう
Happy Birthday, dear Maestro! It was wonderful to see this amazing surprise by your fabulous orchestra! You deserve it! Great job, Anton!
Yes, great job Anton!
That is one best grand happy birthday song I ever heard.
The first violin conducting, that was GREAT!!!!!😘😘😘
Most high-effort yet wholesome prank ever
This is one of the happiest videos on the TH-cam
It’s so beautiful to see dear grannies and grandpas in here playing music and enjoying :D
This make my heart warm
It's such a beautiful moment when the maestro embraces it so visibly and creates lighthearted comedy with his quick thinking.
That was a Fantastic concert! So much fun!! And a Happy Birthday Maestro!
なんと粋な計らい！ こんなゴージャスなBDソングを聴いたのは初めてでした(^▽^)/
This makes my heart warm, thank you!
Omg.....where do I begin?!?!?!? The fantastic arrangement / presentation, the musicians somehow keeping this a secret from the Maestro.....and last (but not least) the joyous and grateful appreciation shown by the *MAESTRO!!!*
This was so sweet it brought tears to my eyes!!! *BEAUTIFUL!!!!*
I would absolutely love it if this ever happened on my birthday!! I love listening to Orchestra music.
Thi is soooo nice and refreshing!
May SIR AD's SOUL REST IN PEACE.. 🙏🥇👍💐⚫

What a phenomenal and joyous prank! You know you're appreciated when the whole orchestra practices this as a gift to you :) I imagine he'll cherish that memory the rest of his life.
