Concertmaster steps down at Concertgebouw

The royal Dutch orchestra has announced the retirement of second concertmaster Marijn Mijnders, after 36 years’ service.

Mijnders, 64, is also a member of the Uriël Ensemble. Her husband, violinist Henk Rubingh, preceded her into retirement. Mijnders says: ‘Playing in the Concergebouw means living like an athelete.’
