David McGill
Appointed principal bassoon in 1996 by former CSO music director Daniel Barenboim, bassoonist/author David McGill began his tenure with the CSO in the fall of 1997. He came here from the Cleveland Orchestra, where he had been principal bassoon since 1988. Prior to that, he was principal bassoon of the Toronto Symphony from 1985 to 1988, and principal bassoon of the Tulsa Philharmonic from 1980 to 1981.
David has appeared as soloist with the CSO, including at Carnegie Hall in 2005 and with John Williams in performances of his concerto for bassoon, "The Five Sacred Trees." He has also performed as soloist with the Cleveland Orchestra, the Toronto Symphony, the Oklahoma Symphony, the Tulsa Philharmonic, the Annapolis Symphony, Orchestra London, Symphony New Brunswick, the Colorado Philharmonic and the student orchestras of the Curtis and Cleveland institutes of music. He was principal bassoon of the World Orchestra for Peace in 1995 and the Solti Orchestral Project at Carnegie Hall in 1994, both under the direction of Sir Georg Solti. He has also performed at the Marlboro, Tanglewood, Colorado Philharmonic (now National Repertory Orchestra) and Aspen music festivals.
