Australia loses a concertmaster

December 10, 2017 by norman lebrecht

We hear that Eoin Andersen is leaving the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra after two years.

The Wiconsin violinist, formerly principal second violin of Zurich Opera, maintains a second home in Berlin.

His departure was reported on classical radio.

Only the best musicians are allowed to grab their chin on photo shoots.
Thank you for pointing out this important detail.
