    H’mm, can’t say I’ve ever known anyone be plucked – must be painful.

  • Bemused says:

    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.

  • Brian Hughes says:
