Janet Popesco Archibald, Oboe and English Horn, San Francisco Opera – More Tales from the Pit The Society is delighted to welcome another member of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra to our series of lectures. What would Tristan und Isolde be without the haunting English Horn solo? Our guest Janet Pospeco Archibald has played this as a musician for San Francisco Opera Orchestra. A versatile artist, Archibald is also a member of the Lowell Trio with Emil Miland and Margaret Fondbertasse, her dear colleagues since conservatory days. Archibald has also served on the faculty of San Francisco State University and UC Santa Cruz. This talk promises some music making and we anticipate that “friends” will join Janet in her presentation to the Society. Expect an exciting musical afternoon with the Society.
