‘Exemplary’ Berlin violinist dies at 104

The Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin is paying respects to long-serving violinist Eberhard Wangemann, who has died at the age of 104.

Described as ‘an exemplary person and musician who made invaluable contributions to the orchestra,’ Wangemann joined in 1955 at the age of 35 and was quickly elected onto the players’ board.

He was still attending concerts around his 100th birthday.
