Reminds me of the timpani player in “Mozart in the Jungle”
Reminds me of Alexander Harrild, son of the LSO’s principal tuba Patrick Harrild, who landed in hot water after having turned to trafficking or dealing drugs in Chile, where he was a horn player in the Santiago Philharmonic Orchestra.
I’m going to say this has something to do with having huge school loans to pay off from that Julliard degree.
Actually it is Juilliard……
That is probably not the case because he was good enough cellist to get scholarship. He may have been saving to upgrade his instrument.
*tsk* What some people are driven to just to afford a quality instrument.
Why is there a photo of the SPCO? –it’s not like this incident has any connection to them. There are plenty of photos available online of Mr. Drug Dealer. Obviously NL is going for sensationalism, but this is just a cheap move
I guess Juilliard doesn’t teach common sense like don’t speed if you’re hauling weed.
