What if we told you that legendary composer John Cage paid for the birth of one of our musicians? You're intrigued, aren't you? Well, Principal Bassoon Ted Soluri drops this unforgettable fun fact in the very first episode of Music Makers — and that's just the beginning.
Ted and Chelsey talk about his musical journey and how he found his way to the bassoon, one of the orchestra's most norotiously challenging instruments. He shares his experiences navigating auditions (including facing his fear of Mozart's Symphony No. 35 for the DSO audition in 2015) and reflects on how music — and life — have evolved since then.
