The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has appointed a Venezuelan violinist, Gabriela Lara, to the first violin section. Gabriela was rotating concertmaster of the CSO’s Civic Orchestra of Chicago until a year ago, when she joined the Milwaukee Symphony’s second violins.

She won the Chicago audition some weeks ago and is the first CSO musician appointed by incoming music director Klaus Mäkelä, who was present at the audition.
