H’mm, can’t say I’ve ever known anyone be plucked – must be painful.
Very happy for her, and yet bemused that this rather normal and typical type career progession of a fine section player merits and article and yet the Houston Symphony Conductor’s 3 year contract extension (a man who is also MD of Franfurt Radio and principal guest of LPO) does not…Interesting editorial choices.

If the opinion of a fair few American musicians is to be believed, the BSO appointing a new violinist is allegedly about as rare as seeing the Aurora Borealis in Texas at noon, which would make it a major classical music story 🙂
+100 🙂
Actually NL reports on this kind of thing frequently. It may not be “major” news, but it is news.
we wish Lisa, Norman and you ,Bruce, every happiness then 🙂
Thanks — same to you 🙂
Considering I’ve been told by a fair few American string players that appointments to the BSO’s violin sections is about as rare as seeing the Aurora Borealis in Texas at noon, it may even be “major news” 😉
Lisa is a terrific violinist! Boston is very lucky.
Lol, she was in the grand finals 4 times. xD
