On April 2, Smith led the Nottingham Symphony Orchestra s performance of John Strauss Die Fledermaus at London s Royal Concert Hall. To prepare, Smith has been rehearsing with a 75- piece orchestra once a week. I first listened to Die Fledermaus when I was 7 years old, Smith told The London Economic earlier in the month. I d seen a video of a young child conducting the nine-minute piece and really wanted to give it a go. I managed to conduct the whole thing a few weeks later. I have been rehearsing with NSO for a couple of weeks now and it s sounding really good. There are some difficult parts where the music gets faster so I have to move my arms more but I m getting the hang of it. Smith, a Grade 5 violinist, plays added that he s really excited to put his skills to the test and conduct a real orchestra. The tween, who also plays the drums, guitar, viola and piano, will beat out the record previously held by a 14-year-old boy who conducted a Venezuelan youth orchestra. But he wasn t always comfortable with orchestrating. At first I was nervous but you just get used to doing it, but the thing is you just have to keep counting the beats. To watch Smith s story go to:
