    We heard him while he was still a Juilliard student. He covers many other facets of music besides strictly classical which he does exceedingly well. He also has a marvelous sense of humor.

    He has not been with the group that long! One story is that he responded to a craigslist ad. (It’s how I started playing again.) The player he replaced, and the player before, both left for concertmaster positions with major orchestras. And who knows how long he will stay?
