I'm thrilled to announce that after a national audition and a trial week with the orchestra, I've been chosen to be the next Principal Viola of the LA Phil! It's truly an honor to get to lead the great viola section that I've been a part of for the past 15 years. I started out as section viola and then a year later won the Assistant Principal position, followed by winning the Associate Principal job in 2023, so I've occupied every seat in the viola section! I'm also excited to get to assume the role during Gustavo Dudamel's last season with the orchestra and to get to help guide the orchestra's transition to a new Music Director, whoever that might be. Here's to many great seasons with the LA Phil to come!
