Aline was a true pioneer as a woman trombonist in a major European symphony orchestra. She was beloved and respected by all who knew her. May she now take her seat in the Heavenly Phil. Thank you for your music, Aline!!!
So sad to hear this. I had the pleasure of being one of Aline’s teachers many years ago. She was an eager student and went on to a wonderful career. Rest in peace, dear friend.
She was my colleague in the orchestra from 1983 until 1998, and remained a personal friend. A topflight musician and hard-working teacher and mentor to many young brass players. She will be missed. Rest in peace, old friend.
