Cool. Not your grandpa’s brass player!
I honestly have to ask that what makes Luxembourg Philharmonic so interesting in the eyes of musicians? It’s not Europe’s Top10 or Top20 orchestra and there’s too many open principal horn positions in Germany (country where most Top10 / Top20 orchestras are located) so I must honestly say that she’s too good to Luxembourg Phil.
Hmmm… prepare to have your mind blown : might it just be the money? (And the Lux Phil is actually pretty damn good!)
Luxembourg has the highest GDP per capita in the world (except in some years when high gas prices put Qatar ahead of it). I’d expect that the Luxembourg Philharmonic pays fairly well.
Congratulations! Principal horn is one the most challenging chairs in the orchestra.
Let me guess, she’s not like other girls?
