Congratulations to Milan Milisavljević, now Principal Viola of New York’s Metropolitan Opera Orchestra! Chosen from more than fifty candidates, Milan is just the fifth person to lead the Met’s viola section since the company’s founding in 1880. He previously served as Principal Viola of the Finnish Radio Symphony and as a member of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Milan performs internationally as a soloist and a chamber musician, and is conductor and founder of Music for the People, a New York-based ensemble dedicated to a new perspective on classical music. He has played a Joseph Curtin viola since 2012.
