Moreover, musicians are encouraged to play light music on unusual instruments and invite folk instrumentalists from the bands and groups playing popular music.

Other musicians, the older ones, feel nervous and unable to relax. Kathy an opera costume designer works hard to totally change their outward appearance for this particular occasion.
