Who’s New York’s oboe on Jaap’s opening night?
mainWe hear that Sherry Sylar, associate principal oboe, has been rostered for the big occasion in the enforced absence of the Philharmonic’s #1 oboe, Liang Wang.
There has been no further disclosure on the firing of two musicians, except a clarification that it relates to a number of incidents over a considerable period.
The timing of the dismissals could hardly have been worse – on the eve of the inaugural concert of a new music director, Jaap Van Zweden – and the Philharmonic as a group are getting on with their business in a slightly artificial state of suspended animation.
