String quartet admits first male
OrchestrasThe Esmé Quartet, formed in 2016 by four Korean female musicians, has just broken ranks.
Dimitri Murrath is the new violist, replacing Jiwon Kim.
He says: ‘I was told I passed the internship and I am now 사원 in Esmé, Inc.’
They say: ‘Dimitri started playing with us during our US tour in March. From the very first rehearsal, we felt such a deep musical connection that we were so happy to share our music together on stage with him!’
Really, this diversity thing is getting out of hand.
This was the funniest comment I read today.
I wonder if he gets his own dressing room when on tour?
Wow, the Asians are really winning aren’t they!! Great news, especially when the European world seems to be losing interest in art music.
Sue Sonata Form: You seem to have hit a nail on the head. Especially about European Orchestras. I will be hearing Esme next week at the Perelman, we’ll see how the male interloper sizes up to the women. I expect to be enchanted.
