Great read! I actually just was in Prague for a couple of days working with an orchestra in the beginning of April. I DO hope you got to taste some Czech beer while you were there (if you mentioned it in your report I missed it).
I'm always so glad not to be a film music composer though, when I'm reading stuff like this, or talking with some film music student friends

So much stress, so much time pressure all the time... Horrible! (But I'm sure also very exciting.)
And I must say, your bio looks quite impressive. And you're just 10 months older than me... I seriously need to hurry up!
