The new concertmaster of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra as of this week is Tjeerd Top, assistant principal violinist of the Royal Concertgebouworkest.
He says: ‘After twenty years with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (KCO), I started this month with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. I auditioned for first concertmaster in September, and last week was my first official week in the Doelen. In consultation with both orchestras, I was able to get a sabbatical from the KCO at short notice, and with that I have the honor of being a member of the two best orchestras in the country for a while.’
