Just in: Chicago locks down Atlanta’s kid bassoon
mainKeith Buncke (r.) is the new Principal Bassoon of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, starting July 6, 2015.
Buncke, 22, was appointed principal bassoon of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra last year while still a student at the Curtis Institute of Music.
Congratulations.
He is still 21 years old Norman. He’ll turn 22 next month.
This was known months ago!
It was reported months ago. It was not known officially until last night, when Keith played his first concert in Chicago.
Curtis woodwinds abound in US orchestras.
