It’s been a really good career, says retiring concertmaster. It’s gone the way I hoped
mainThe New Haven Symphony Orchestra is losing its concertmaster. Ani Kavafian, 69, says she wants to go well before the music director, William Boughton, steps down in 2019, allowing the right successor to be chosen.
‘It’s been a really good career,’ she tells the local paper. ‘It’s gone the way I hoped.’
You don’t hear that very often.

Yes, there’s always a time to go and let the next generation get in and have the experience.
She looks good for 69 years old and still sounds great.
I have know Ani (and Ida) since 1967 at Interlochen Arts Center.
A sweeter player and person does not exist. I wish her well.
She really is wonderful in every way — artist and persona.
We enjoy her playing @ CMS in Lincoln Center….
