In> Who is Todd Levy?

Todd Levy is a freelancer in New York. He was the principal clarinetist in
the New World Symphony in Miami from its inception for several years. He
studied with David Weber at Juilliard (was a classmate and friend of Jon
Manassee). He is currently the clarinetist in the Aspen Quintet.

Todd is an exceptional player. I played in New World for a few weeks with him
several years ago. He played e-flat on Till and principal on Copland 3
(pretty difficult stuff) I never heard him make any kind of mistake or squeak,
solid as a rock. Fine musician too.

BTW, Todd recorded L'Histoire for Chesky Records. Anyone hear it? It is
likely to be excellent.
