She is great. Hopefully, she won’t be ousted by the first violinist like the previous violist. She said there was drama. She was fantastic as well.
I’ve also heard of the drama, what a shame that someone can be ousted based only on personal opinions. What a world we’ve truly come to, for drama to be over music. Who is next…
Yea, totally. And I heard that the first violinist stole the Lindbergh baby and was the reason that God set the 10 plagues onto Egypt.
Doubt a founding person in a quartet can oust another founder. Of course if you have an interview or reputable source to link to, please enlighten us.
lol sounds like someone doesn’t know how quartets work… but enjoy the gossip train, buddy!
I’ve heard that as well. But she’s fleeing the Boston Symphony, so she knows something about handling drama.
is it true that the first violinist is doing all the thumbs down here?
Ousted by the first violinist? That’s completely wrong! Drama for sure, but that’s not it.
She’ll be principal of Chicago sooner than later —probably.

Tell me more. What did Joel do exactly to make Milena leave??
that is a question for joel. you should ask him as he knows better. or ask milena too. I’m not the one to gossip.
maybe didn’t treat her well and perhaps emotionally attacking? Or else why would you leave?
The Dover Quartet is the dictionary definition of mediocre. Once they lost Milena that was the final nail in the coffin. Hopefully the new violist can add some spice.
Bertha, you need a new dictionary…
scratch that, the dictionary probably isn’t the problem
2 Grammy nominations in the last 3 cycles, as voted on by peers in the industry. A quartet constantly in demand, playing as many as 130 concerts a year in certain years. Of which jealous quartet are you a member?
Nominations….no win. The previous violist has a bright future with booked concerts already. bso doesn’t really like the newly appointed so good she’s leaving.
What chamber music group doesn’t come with drama? Unless you want some boring music playing. Seems like someone is salty out there after departing the group, wants to use rumor and speculations to stain the wonderful news about the new member. I’d say let’s focus on the exciting news and new chapter for the Dover Quartet! Congratulations!
Is she actually quitting her tenured position with the BSO to join the quartet?
