Symphonic Metamorphosis

 

Assistant Principal Cello, Jeremy Crosmer will be departing the GRS to join the Detroit Symphony at the end of the season. While we will miss him, we congratulate him and wish him all the best on the other side of the state.

 

Recently several auditions were held, and hearty congratulations go to the following current and new members of the orchestra:
