From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stanley Drucker, born 1929 in Brooklyn, New York; is an American clarinetist, regarded as one of the most important orchestral players of his generation. Since 1948, he has been a member of the New York Philharmonic in a six-decade tenure unmatched in length by any other American orchestral player.
Mr. Drucker began clarinet studies at age ten with Leon Russianoff and graduated from the Curtis Institute of Music. His time with the New York Philharmonic has included nearly 150 solo appearances with the orchestra. He has the distinction of being one of the few living orchestral musicians whose biography appears in the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians.
