There can be a strange sort of emptiness that follows a big performance. You work like crazy preparing for the big concert, and when it's over, it feels like something is almost missing. Some call it post-performance depression, and although I am hesitant to use such a severe term, I must admit that there can be a letdown following a big performance.
So what can be done? I usually try to take a few days off and evaluate where I am and what is next. Currently, I'm trying to put together a website, and then I will send my CD to different concert series in hopes of getting future concerts set up.
I'm also trying to learn some new repertoire. There is a certain refreshment in learning new music.
And, I'm looking forward to the next concert. We artists always need upcoming opportunities; it gives us hope!
