When Carol Webb joined the New York Philharmonic in 1977, she was the first woman to play in its violin section.

Now, 39 years on, she has decided to lay down her bow.

A Juilliard graduate, she appeared as soloist with the orchestra three times and has been active in chamber music around the New York area.

We wish Carol a happy retirement.
