Legendary clarinetist Stanley Drucker was a member of the New York Philharmonic for 60 years, 48 of them as principal clarinet. He has played some 10,200 concerts - including 191 solo appearances - under 10 music directors and countless guests. The Philharmonic estimates that over 40 million people have attended a concert in which he performed. To bring home just how much of the Philharmonic’s history Drucker has been privy to, consider that he was hired in 1948 by the legendary Bruno Walter, a protégé of Gustav Mahler and a link to the musical legacy of late 19th-century Europe.
