Death of an eminent violinist
RIPThe Romanian violinist Mariana Sirbu died this morning.
She was concertmaster of I Musici chamber orchestra and a much loved professor at the Musikhochschule in Leipzig. Her most recent appointment was as principal guest director of the Irish Chamber Orchestra.
A wonderful and cultivated violinist.
We cannot afford to lose these people.
More than a profoundly gifted artist, Mariana was also an absolutely lovely human being. Her death is a loss to us all.
