Behind Closed Doors

Broken batons are a normal part of the rehearsal and concert processes (sometimes more deliberate than accidental), but have you ever wondered what happens to the sticks once they snap?

If it's broken here at the Phil, chances are it ends up occupying a place of honor in our Orchestra Library, in a collection curated by Lawrence Tarlow, our Principal Librarian.
