Paavo Järvi mourns a leading string player
RIPThe conductor has posted a memorial notice for the Slovak violinist and violist Peter Zelienka, a key player in Frankfurt’s HR symphony orchestra since 1993.
Zelienka was also founder-violist of the Haba Quartet and, lately, a conductor.
No cause of death is known.
I am deeply shocked. I met him just a few weeks ago for the first time in person. Such a nice guy, I will miss him.
Family miss him a lot! So young!
