mainThe Atlanta Symphony, in its 75th season, has six new players:
Rainer Eudeikis, principal cello (pictured);
Zhenwei Shi, principal viola;
Zachary Boeding, associate principal oboe;
Brittany Conrad, bass;
Sheela Iyengar, 1st violin;
Jeremy Buckler, trombone.
The last three are on one-year contracts.
“NEW PRINCIPAL CELLO, VIOLA AND OBOE”
So multi-talented. And so young.
The ASO is a meaningful legacy for Robert Shaw and Louis Lane.
And also ASO’s music director since 2001, Robert Spano.
Wow big blow to Utah to lose Rainer!
It’s time for some new blood.
Very proud to have taught Zhenwei for a few years. A very special talent!
