We are saddened to report the passing of violinist Bogdan Chruszcz. Bogdan, a member of Local 655 since 1965, was founding concertmaster of the Florida Philharmonic, and after the Philharmonic filed for bankruptcy, he became the concertmaster of the Symphony of the Americas. He also performed chamber music with his wife for more than thirty years as part of the Yedra-Chruszcz Duo.
