David Hattner asked:
<Were their names listed in the program? The recently retired harpist who
played for 30 years never had her name listed because she was not officially
a member until her last year or two.>

Of the five women, only two were listed: a violist Ursula Plaichinger, and a
harpist Charlotte Balzereit. Both names had asterix by them, which meant
they were "newly engaged musicians, who do not yet belong to the Vienna
Philharmonic Association." Anna Lelkes, the 30-year veteran harpist, was
listed under a long "In Retirement" list, which included ICA member Alfred
Prinz. The bassoonist and clarinetist, as well as a violinist, were not
listed, even though they played all three concerts.

Things change slowly, I guess..........
