Thanks Alex, this has been rumoured for a while, nice it's confirmed. Probably fallout from the Atlanta debacle...

Wow (again). We've heard Mr. Buncke perform several times since he arrived in Atlanta, at Atlanta Symphony Musicians concerts, chamber music concerts, and twice with the ASO once they resumed. He is a really fine musician. I hate to see him go, but I wish him the best of luck.
