This article provides a glimpse into the high-pressure world of musicians who aspire to be a part of the world's top symphony orchestras. In particular, it looks at the Boston Symphony Orchestra and follows one musician who works tirelessly to try to join it and another who struggled after gaining a spot with the group. I found this to be an interesting take both on this niche world of intense competition as well as a broader reflection on the nature of ambition and the drive to be the best.
