John Bruce Yeh joined the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra (CSO) in 1977, having been appointed at the age of nineteen
by Sir Georg Solti. Two years later, he was named assistant principal
and solo Eb clarinetist. Yeh has performed concertos with the CSO on several
occasions, most recently in 1998, giving the American premiere of Elliott
Carter's Clarinet Concerto with Pierre Boulez conducting. Director of
Chicago Pro Musica, Yeh received the Grammy® Award in 1986 as "Best
New Classical Artist." A prizewinner at both the 1982 Munich International
Music Competition and the 1985 Naumburg Clarinet Competition in New York,
he continues to solo with orchestras around the globe. John's solo and
chamber music recordings, numbering over a dozen, have earned high praise
and critical acclaim. He has been a faculty member at DePaul University
for more than 20 years. |
