    Wonderful player!!!!

  • Don Ciccio says:

    It was my understanding that Mr. Nuccio wanted for a long time a principal position. Congratulations for finally getting it.

  • NYMike says:

    No sooner than the NY Phil FINALLY settles on principal clarinet McGill, Nuccio leaves for Houston. We enjoyed his playing and wish him well. If I’m not mistaken, the Phil’s bass clarinet chair is still open.

  • MacroV says:

    It makes sense; Principal is a better job than Assistant Principal. Good for him.
