A sad day for everyone at the ASO, as we lost our dear friend and colleague, Ralph Jones. It is impossible to imagine this place without him, as he was a crucial part of this institution for over 40 years, but we know that his spirit will forever be with us on our stage and in our hearts. Ralph's influence is palpable in this orchestra's past, present and future due to his unwavering leadership of his section, overwhelming pride and tireless dedication to his students and the future of classical music. Please send thoughts of comfort to his wife, Gloria, and his children during this difficult time. Our concerts this week will open with Bach's "Air on the G String" in his memory.
