Thomas Søndergård recruits four players
mainThe Royal Scottish National Orchestra has appointed Paolo Dutto principal contrabassoon and Robin Wilson to the second violins. That makes four new players so far for music director Thomas Søndergård in his first season.
This, 18/19 season is actually his first as Music Director.
That’s what the story says. Anything new?
Isn’t four new musicians each year the standard replacement rate (e.g. each player has 25 years in the orchestra).
