Re: Eb orchestral auditions

Peter was a tragic story of a guy who quit the Boston Sym to be a Univ Professor so that he could pay for his kid's college education comfortably (the son was 5 at the time) and not have to worry about him being too old to play in the symphony when his son was college age. So he took the gig at Eastman around 1992.

It was a great plan except that he died the following year of a heart attack - the guy was in great shape too (muscle guy in his early 50's who rode motorcycles and lifted weights).

Was a huge loss and way too early.
