Concertmaster steps down at Concertgebouw

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.’
