A message from Gisele, sent to the Faculty (late 2008):

"Hello to everyone! I just want to announce that I have a new address.  I now live in Bochum, Germany, where I accepted a new job as principal bass player of the Bochum Symphony Orchestra.  I have started in January 2009.  This orchestra has approximately 86 members.

I want to thank the Faculty of Music for helping me achieve my goal of playing in a big orchestra!  If there are any plans of alumni concerts, I would be ready to play, if I can fit it in my schedule. Many greetings from Germany!"
