Youngest To Oldest – Detroit Symphony

At 87, Felix Resnick is the oldest musician in the Detroit Symphony. At 23, Gina DiBello is the youngest. “Resnick began his tenure in 1943 during Franklin Roosevelt’s third term, and allowing for the two years the DSO was dormant from 1949 to 1951, his 61 seasons represent the longest active streak in any major American orchestra. DiBello, meanwhile, joined in September. She is one of just a handful of players each year to land a job in a top orchestra while still in their early 20s.”
