Every year, the Oregon Symphony opens its first regular classical music concert with the national anthem, and I noticed at the opening concert on Saturday evening that associate concertmaster Peter Frajola was singing the national anthem and playing it at the same time! I took a quick look at other members of the orchestra, but I didn't see anyone else doing this (of course, wind and brass players cannot do this feat), and perhaps Frajola has been doing this for years. In any case, kudos to Frajola!
Yes, Peter has been doing this for as long as I've been in the orchestra - I'm amazed he can do it!
