Concertgebouw violinist goes to work for management agency
mainFrom Annabeth Webb:
Life is about chances, choices and changes.
I have enjoyed to the fullest the chance to play in the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra as second violinist for almost 20 years. A dream job that I fought for to achieve. Now I have taken the choice for a major change in life, saying goodbye to the luxury of the known and accept the chance to new adventures.
I am extremely proud and thankful to announce that from January 1st 2019 I will be working for HarrisonParrott Ltd as manager Touring and Projects. Looking forward to learning, exploring and developing!
There’s another life out there.
Much more inspiring than Anthea Kreston’s story about how she got her best friend to marry his student.
anything to do with Gatti’s firing?
Her career move is rather unusual but she’s not the first fiddler to give up (at least professionally) the violin for other pursuits. Here are a few who did it also: Arthur Judson, Iso Briselli, Giovanni Ricordi, Olga Rudge, Laura Archera, Arma Senkrah, Teresina Tua, and Patricia Travers.
Bohuslav Martinu and Carl Neilsen both escaped from 2nd violin sections to be full-time composers, the Dane after sixteen long years.
