Our General Manager and host of Tuesday night's Fortissimo, Gideon Klionsky, recently interviewed Eli Eban. Mr. Eban has served as the principal clarinetist of the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra for 16 summers and during the year teaches at Indiana's Jacobs School of Music. After studying at Curtis and playing in the Israeli Defense Forces band, he held posts with the Jerusalem Symphony and Israel Philharmonic, playing under conductors such as Leonard Bernstein, Cristoph Eschenbach, Klaus Tennstedt, Charles Dutoit, Sir Georg Solti, and others.

The interview will air on an upcoming edition of Fortissimo and will be posted here when it is ready.
