If someone voluteers to virtually conduct I'll play Air guitar on Arnold's Concerto for Group and Orchestra

[Sir Monty Golfear]

Let's say you've been conducting amateur or low class orchestras
all your life when a chief executive of a top London band 'discovers' you
at a local event.

He/she offers you two dates in the orchestra's main season. As you've wasted
quite a few years you are anxious to make a big impression.

What would be your chosen programmes supposing you were given a free
rein ?? XxX

First half:
Glinka Ruslan & Ludmilla
Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue: piano: myself
Ibert's: Divertissment

Second half:
Rachmaninov Symphony no.2

First half:
