Now what? An adjustable-size ensemble was the answer for Eli Weinberger, a recent graduate of McGill University and general director of Pronto…Musica. They are a group of recent music grads he gathered after pianist Amy Zanrosso told him careers thrive or flounder in the first five years after school. Weinberger also plays cello in the group and believes that “it’s really important that we — the young professionals — start our own initiatives and create opportunities.”
