Two Cleveland Orchestra Players to Leave for University Posts
Principal violist Abraham Skernick will depart in August to join Indiana University Bloomington faculty and Berkshire String Quartet. Principal clarinetist David Shifrin will also leave to join the University of Michigan Ann Arbor as associate professor, teaching and performing in multiple ensembles. Skernick cites a shift in trustees and dwindling pursuit of artistic pace as the motive, while Shifrin says his move is driven by university teaching interests rather than conditions in Cleveland.
