The vacancy in New York has been filled. However, another has been created in its place. Christopher Martin will be the next Principal Trumpet of the New York Philharmonic. We have been interested to see who would fill the spot since Phil Smith left 2 years ago.
We'll have more to say on this especially on the open space this creates in Chicago. What do you think about this move? Let us know in the comments.

There's a ton of ways these days to follow artists you love. A number our favorite orchestras have some great material worthy of your time on SoundCloud. Here's a list worth starting with. Included with each orchestras is an example of the content each orchestra offers. You'll notice they're not all music. That's a good thing, because there's some great interviews and other content available.
