It is the conductor.
I didn't know orchestras had trains.
Oh thereβs lots of trans people in orchestra
Is that where you switch from playing trombone to trumpet?
You've never heard of the Trans Siberian ~~Railroad~~ Orchestra?
Now I just want to listen to an orchestra play on a train.
I dunno, that sounds like a fast track to being the subject of a murder mystery. I think I'm good.
As long as the train doesn't go through any tunnels, or the lights go out briefly, you should be fine!
TBF sometimes the conductor is the original composer. Just obviously not usually, at least if it's a very successful piece or they're dead.
