About
Spaniard David Fernández Alonso, first hornist with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, immediately felt at home in Rotterdam. "I grew up in Vigo in Spain, also a port city. The atmosphere is the same. "
David Fernández Alonso comes from a family of fishermen, but he himself chose a different path: that of music. It took him through various stops to Rotterdam, where he has been the first hornist with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra for a year. He immediately felt at home in the Maas city. There are therefore many similarities with his hometown Vigo, also a port city. "Although it is a fishing port - even the largest in Europe - the atmosphere is comparable. Vigo also has a large industry. Just like Rotterdam, it is a real working city. "On days off, Alonso likes to cycle through Rotterdam.
