And Occasionally On Stage<\/h3>\n<p>Gary was appointed Principal Librarian of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in January 1992.<\/p>\n<p>His background included librarian positions with the National Symphony in Washington, D.C., the New World Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, Denver Symphony, and Eugene (Oregon) Symphony.<\/p>\n<p>Gary is a native of rural California, where his father was a founding member of the Salinas Valley Highlanders, a bagpipe band. He began to play clarinet in grade four, but didn\u2019t get serious about music study until he performed in a summer musical. He continued to study clarinet, but along the way, met Martin Silver, Head Music Librarian at the University of California at Santa Barbara, and his interest was piqued.<\/p>\n<p>He gave a lot of credit to his music teachers for their guidance well beyond the realm of the arts. Even as his career aspirations swerved over to librarian and programmer, he continued to play, and often performed in the orchestra for the annual New Year\u2019s Bravissimo! and Salute to Vienna Concerts.<\/p>\n<p>During his summers, he served as one of the librarians for the Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson, Wyoming.<\/p>\n<p>Gary retired from the TSO in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>May he rest in peace.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Are you looking to promote an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/advertising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a\"><u>event<\/u><\/span><\/a>?
