New York City Ballet has just lost its principal cellist after wriggling out of paying its orchestra during Covid.

Frederick Zlotkin, brother of the conductor Leonard Slatkin, joined the NYCB orchestra on December 21 1971 and functioned for half a century as its heart and soul, two organs that are clearly absent on its miserly board.

We wish Fred, 74, a busy retirement.
