The Baltimore Chamber Orchestra has named a new concertmaster -- Madeline Adkins, associate concertmaster of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. (The BCO and BSO have a long history of mutual personnel and cooperation on scheduling.) Guest concertmasters have filled the post since another BSO violinist, Craig Richmond, stepped down two years ago.

Adkins, one of the bright young talents brought into the BSO by former music director Yuri Temirkanov, has been featured in several of that orchestra's programs in recent season, displaying her admirable technical skills and strong musical personality.

Adkins will be make her first appearance as BCO concertmaster in the orchestra's season-closing program of Haydn and Stravinsky May 21 at Goucher College. For concert details click here.
