Solti cellist retires
OrchestrasFrom the Chicago Symphony:
The CSOA family congratulates CSO cello Loren Brown on his retirement. Brown joined the Orchestra under Music Director Sir Georg Solti in 1985. Across his CSO tenure, he was a soloist in the Orchestra’s first performances of David Ott’s Concerto for Two Cellos, performed in several chamber ensembles and participated in over 40 tours. “I find it remarkable that there is such synergy across more than 100 musicians who come together to carry the legacy of this great orchestra to make music at the highest level with the best conductors and soloists,” he said.
A wonderful colleague.
Agreed! (We had several lovely discussions about single malt Scotch….) He was always very welcoming re: my visits to Chicago…. Wishing him the VERY best in retirement!
Percussionist James Ross also retires, after 45 years.
More time for meals with Sanders and Stucka.
Remembering some of those fabulous breakfasts…. Great CSO ‘cellists all…!
Very well done and said…
