Why I like playing with the ESO

Larry programs challenging and interesting music and the orchestra has the capability to rise to the expertise needed to perform that music.

Favorite composer or piece

Richard Strauss and Rossini. Favorite piece is Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben.

When I’m not playing with the ESO, I’m…

Playing with other orchestras.

Something most people don’t know about me

I love to sew, especially embroidery and creating garments. Also, I’m married to the ESO principal clarinetist Ralph Wilder.
