‘Fabulous’ piccolo joins Philadelphia Orchestra
mainErica Peel is the new principal piccolo in Philly.
Music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin messaged: ‘Welcome Erica! A fabulous musician just joined the Fabulous Philadelphians!!’
Erica presently holds the principal piccolo/3rd flute seat at the San Diego Symphony. She succeeds Kazuo Tokito, an Ormandy veteran who retired last summer after 35 Philly years.
Is this a trial or a confirmed appointment? Why hasn’t San Diego posted a vacancy?
