While rehearsing Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, violinist Nicola Benedetti's bow flipped out of her hand.
Benedetti took it in stride and with a good sense of humor; she shared the video (embedded below) on her social media channels, sharing this comment on her Facebook page:
"Whoops! Little accident before tonight's performance. All is well with the bow though, don't worry! Nicky"
Given her commitment to music education, it stands to reason Benedetti would have no problem sharing a little blunder like this with her fans.
Benedetti and the RSNO perform in concert tonight, Saturday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m. (1:30 p.m. Minnesota time) at the Royal Glasgow Concert Hall.
Here's that 10-second blooper from the rehearsal:
