Herzlichen Glückwunsch.
Norman, any word on Adela Frasineanu, who joined the VSOO at (I believe) the same time?
Adela is still showing as second violin on the orchestra web-site as does Benjamin (Members of Opera Orchestra)
Miss Frasineanu also played well in this audition but Mr Morrison received more points. She remains a confirmed member of the second violin section and is awaiting tenure with the VPO, as is Mr Morrison.
Thank you for the information Bviolinistic.
Glad to hear the news. Good wishes from a New Zealander.
Ditto
And congratulations from an Aussie!!
