new cellist joins symphony

Marilyn de Oliveira

We know that we’re lucky to have Marilyn de Oliveira join us as our new Assistant principal (or as one dubious friend of mine likes to say “ass prince”) cellist this season. She’s a vital and sensitive artist, but also brings a brilliant smile and equally brilliant wardrobe to the section as well. What’s more, she also brings back her husband, cellist Trevor Fitzpatrick, who was already in the OSO section, but on leave to be with her in San Antonio last season. I happened upon this review of a sort of farewell concert that she gave in San Antonio this past August, and it reaffirmed what a great coup we’ve achieved in gaining this wonderful cellist. I feel bad for San Antonio for losing Marilyn, but that’s tempered by our gain.
