College swoops on new London principal

College swoops on new London principal

The Norwegian string player Eivind Ringstad joined the London Symphony Orchestra earlier this year as principal viola.

As of this week, he is also professor of viola at the Royal College of Music.

The RCM’s new director James Williams was previously CEO of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He keeps a keen eye on movement in the ranks.

Ringstad is 30. Plenty of teaching in him yet.
