We take some comfort imagining Tim’s reaction to being described as ETO’s Principal Oboe.
It says so on his site.
He very much was before he got the job in the RPO.
A huge and shattering loss to his friends, colleagues and family, to whom deepest condolences. Much love to you in the RPO, I know how hard this must be.
Loosing Tim so quickly and so early is a huge hit for the oboe world. He really was one of the good guys. Condolences and thoughts go to his family and to the woodwind team in the RPO who I know will miss him immensely.
