Double Bass Philadelphia Orchestra

[Douglas.Nestler]

Congratulations to Christian Gray on winning the section job! What’s the news on the other openings?

 

[Bille262]

Congratulations to Christian and Michael Franz (Principal of Pacific Symphony currently) for winning the two section openings in Philadelphia!! The committee did not award positions for the Principal and Assoc-Principal spots. There were seven players in the last superfinal round.

The committee did not award positions for the Principal and Co-Principal spots.

Please forgive my ignorance, but is Hal stepping down? What about Joe?

 

[Bille262]

I made an error when I said "co-principal" when the position was actually for "associate-principal" which I changed. As it turns out the latter position was also filled but I don't know the name of the winner. Sorry 'bout that.

A great player named Gabe Polinsky.
