Hi Derek, I just wanted to say really nice work, these section listings are SO VERY interesting and just what made my day. I was just wondering, even though you still are working on this at the time, if you'd be thinking of compiling it into a history or reference book? You are the awesome!!!

Giangiulio was in the Israel Phil for a few years. It was after he studied with Andre in France for a couple years. That was his first orchestral job I believe.

You could put the San Antonio Symphony or Austin Symphony in if you wanted another group from TX. Grew up there and the ones you would hear about are the two above and then of course Dallas and Houston.

You should put the Florida Orchestra. I'm surprised you have Florida West Coast Sym. and not the Florida Orchestra. Just a suggestion...

cheldt1 and sjtrumpet,

Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t been doing much with this project lately. When I get back to adding new groups to the list I’ll certainly look into the ensembles that you’ve listed.

Thanks,

I’ve wondered about the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. I looked up information about the group in the past and didn’t see that they had a trumpet player listed in their personnel: Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble.

They have worked with many trumpet soloists in the past. I found that William Houghton (Principal Trumpet with the BBC Symphony Orchestra) is listed as the Principal Trumpet with St. Martin in the Fields (here). I’ll have to do some investigation on this ensemble.

What about the Oregon Symphony. Many top notch players there.

Derek Reaban · Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2009 9:55 pm Post subject:

SF,

Clearly they should be on our list. I'll gather what information I can and post it in the Historical Rosters folder later this week. Do you happen to know who was in the Principal chair before Fred Sautter?

Thanks Michael. I'll look into this ensemble again. Maybe I'll contact Bill Houghton or Michael Laird to see if they can help.
