Leon Chodos to Leave Brothers

Posted November 1st, 2006 by meubanks

Brother Leon Chodos, the Bassoon Brothers virtuoso contrabassoonist, leaves us early in 2007. Leon's landed in a higher plane, both in pay, prestige and altitude as the new Associate Principal/Contrabassonist with the Utah Symphony. The newest dumb guy of the Bassoon Brothers has followed in the foot steps of the big dumb guy by moving up from his lowly position in the Oregon Symphony bassoon section and leaves the big bottom of the Bros behind. What's next Leon, maybe Chicago? Who knows, Leon seems to have it all figured out. Thinner reeds?

Leon's strength in low down playing can be heard on the Bassoon Brothers Escaped CD to be released sometime in the next year. He even gets a few solo shots.
