About this exposition

Name: Liesbeth Bosboom Main subject: cello Supervisor: Stefan Petrovic Mastercircle leader: Janet Krause Title: The principal cellist Research question: What does one need to be an effective principal cellist in a symphony orchestra? Over the past few years I have played in several orchestra’s as a tutti player but also as sectional leader. As a tutti player I noticed that there are a lot of different leaders. Some leaders moved a lot while playing, others almost didn’t move. Some showed a lot of entrances, others almost none. Some gave a lot of remarks during the rehearsals and others didn’t say anything. Some of them where open to suggestions from the group, others only wanted to do it their way. When I was leader myself, I sometimes didn’t feel very secure because I didn’t know what exactly was my role. I took this research as an opportunity to found this out. First of all, I did literature research, and soon I realized that not so many people wrote about this subject. Next to the few articles I read about sectional leaders in orchestra, I studied some articles about leadership in general and I tried to apply the results I found in those articles on my specific subject: leadership in orchestra. Second, I made interviews with conductors, tutti cellists and solo cellists from different orchestras and asked them about their opinion on a lot of things. For example, about the tasks of a principal, the way a principal should communicate with their section, other leaders and the conductor, and the way a principal cellist should be giving remarks to the section. As a result, I got a clear overview of the do’s and don’ts of a principal cellist. Biography Liesbeth (1995) studies with Michel Strauss and Jan-Ype Nota at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. When she was 12 years old, she was accepted at the Prince Claus Conservatory. First in the Young Talent Class with Corine ‘t Hoen, then for bachelor with Jan-Ype Nota, which she finished with a 10. Currently, she is following an orchestra master program with the Residentie Orchestra. Also, she is substitute cellist at the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. Starting from a very young age, she won prizes various national competitions. As a soloist Liesbeth played with several student- and professional orchestras in Holland and abroad.
