    This one below with our Australian Chamber Orchestra is a bit artificial/contrived but not going too far, if you will.

    In a way, their image reflects their programming, which isn't exactly cutting edge but does include a fair deal of new or newer music.

    Contrast their image with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, shown HERE, and this contrast is clear. This recent photo is the same sort that was taken 20 or 30 years ago, with the then members of the orchestra in exactly the same location. Says something about "establishment" values, doesn't it?...

    ^^I like this one, although I think it would have worked better without the two spots.

    Strategically placed instruments:

    Rachel Podger and Andrew Manze - I don't want either of them defending me in a duel.

    Sid - re: your pic of the ACO - is that Satu Vanska (violinist centre-left in the white top)? Delightful creature!

    This one caught my eye; then I read the photographer's note:
    I love how the neck of the clarinet interacts with ***'s neck. It reminds me of a Canadian Goose resting on his shoulder.

    more clarinet weirdness.

    These photos are of the Ohio State University Double Bass Ensemble. Good thing this college has more going for it than football.
