Don McLean

Don McLean began an ongoing process of discovering the ‘cello about 50 years ago, playing solo, chamber and orchestral music.   Formal study was undertaken at the Royal Conservatory in Toronto, Queen’s University, the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, and elsewhere, plus 43 years (thus far) in the ‘cello section of the Kingston Symphony.   When his instrument, labelled “Robert Duncan, Aberdeen 1778” was made, Mozart was composing his last 3 symphonies, and Beethoven turned 8!
