The Symphony Orchestra of Galicia is in mourning for the death of David Ethève, one of its founder members and former director of its youth orchestra. David, who turned 50 in September, was suffering from brain cancer.

He was also cellist of the Kapelle Piano Trio.

Originally from Neuilly-sur-Seine in France, he made an immense contribution to the musical life of Spain.
