„…members of the Cleveland Orchestra…must be not only good instrumentalists, but also good musicians — invested in the ensemble as a whole, and able to navigate the dynamics of a team“ (Franz Welser-Möst, The New York Times, „A Young Horn Player Could Become ‚a Real Legend'“ by Joshua Barone, June 6, 2022)
Reflections on musical talent, role modelling, mentorship and leadership:
Nathaniel Silberschlag, Principal Horn, joined the Cleveland Orchestra during the 2019 Blossom Music Festival and Summers@Severance seasons and at the start of the 2019-20 Severance Hall season. After a successful two-year probationary period, Silberschlag is now an official, tenured member of the orchestra.
