Personal Information
I was born in Boston, Massachusetts on February 4, 1950 to Roger Voisin & Martha Voisin. I have one younger sister, Anne, who lives in West Stockbridge with her family. During the summers, our Voisin family lived in Stockbridge, Massachusetts and both Anne and I worked at Tanglewood as well as attended concerts by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Latin School and Boston English High Schools were where I completed my high school studies. While in high school, I had the good fortune to solo with the Boston Pops with Arthur Fiedler conducting. After attending Oberlin Conservatory (1969-1971) and the New England Conservatory (1971-1972), I started my orchestral career in Syracuse, New York. I am married to Pamela Voisin (trumpet player) and have three daughters, Christiane, Maria, and Candice. I now am semi-retired and living in Columbus, North Carolina.
