DSO loses concertmaster Boisvert in wake of strike
First violinist to take post with Dallas orchestra this fall
Quote:
Reached Wednesday afternoon, Boisvert said, "I am heartbroken to leave Detroit. I have cried for days." She denied the strike was the cause of her departure, saying only that she had fallen in love with the Dallas orchestra where she played several times over the winter.
Yet, in a release early Wednesday, she noted that Dallas was attractive because of "the intrinsic respect offered to musicians by the administration."
Orchestra consultant Drew McManus termed that a slap at DSO management. "Her decision appears to have been motivated in large part by the strike and its residue of bitterness," he said.
