    17 Moments Only Orchestra Fans Have Experienced

    Classical music FTW.

    1. The epic silence between the last note and applause.

    2. When the concertmaster walks on stage, and you feel hardly worthy of their presence.

    3. When epic conductors do more cardio in one show than you do in a week.

    4. When a conductor has great hair.

    5. When just stepping into the concert hall takes your breath away.

    6. Being surrounded by a beautiful standing ovation.

    7. When the conductor gets super into it, and so then you get excited about the tune as well.

    8. The spine-tingling sound of an orchestra tuning.
