Philharmonia mourns a concertmaster
RIPThe impressive violinist Carl Pini – concertmaster of the Philharmonia in London from 1975 to 1983 and then of the Melbiurne Symphony Orchestra in Australia from 1990 to 1995 – has died at the age of 87.
Between those two jobs he was artistic director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, a post he relinquished to Richard Tognetti.
Pini, the son of a principal cello in London orchestras, founded the London String Quartet in 1960. He made numerous recordings.
