Alexander Kerr gets unique post
Alex Kerr, former concertmaster of the CSO (this photo is circa-1995), has been named principal guest concertmaster of the Indianapolis Symphony.
What's that, you ask? It's a new joint appointment of concertmaster, the top violin chair of the orchestra. He'll share the post with concertmaster Zach De Pue. While it's not uncommon to have two concertmasters in Europe (such as the Royal Concertgebouw, where Kerr went to be concertmaster after Cincinnati) it could be a first in the United States.
The partnership enables both to continue their performing and teaching careers on the side. Kerr is professor of violin at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.
