Violist Roger Tapping will be leaving the ranks of the BCMS member musicians to join the Julliard String Quartet when Samuel Rhodes, father of BCMS violinist Harumi Rhodes, retires from the quartet at the end of the 2012-13 season. Hear Roger’s last performance as a member musician on Sunday, November 11th, and join us at the reception after the concert to share your congratulations.
In Roger’s own words: “I really enjoy the top-quality music making and have felt wonderfully challenged, producing good, intense, beautiful performances quickly together and learning some less-trodden and zesty pieces I’d never played before.”
Wow, roger! That is exciting, but how will the repertoire be? Aren’t they kind of safe? Still, it will look great on your resume!
Congratulations, Roger! Best of luck in NY.
