I can't remember but I'm pretty sure it was by invitation only by that time so probably lots of well known players. On a somewhat unrelated funny story, when Ricardo was prepared his audition he called me and asked me to listen to some excerpts and give him my opinion, he had studied with me as a teenager for 5-6 summers. While he was playing for me I needed to switch phones for better reception and accidentally turned off the phone. I had to wait several minutes for him to call back and ask what happened, we had a good laugh and he played the excerpts again. i gave him a 100% on his playing, well duh, he was and is a great player. I don't remember if I made any suggestions at all, if I did it would have been a pretty small one. Something like play it faster, louder and better.:-) (That was actually a quote from a conductor I heard said many years ago).
I consider him as my unofficial 4th son. :-)
