Yeah… For some reason I posted his dad’s name instead of his name.
(I know all of them… I guess it’s a characteristic of getting old for me to be getting people’s names mixed up.)

Alan's father was a violinist in the NYPO (right?) so it didn't seem so unlikely. Great performance!

Re: NOW: Mahler 2 - NDR - Alan Gilbert - live stream
For a few years he directed and mostly funded out of his own pocket an orchestra in Memphis. I played in that orchestra, along with Michael‘s brother, Alan‘s wife, Alan (once), Michael’s nephews, and some rising star violinists - as well as off-week big-five violinists that he would bring in to play in the violin section.
His wife – also retired from the NYPO (as its first chair second desk violinist) - made him stop burning a hole in their finances.
