Lucien Lewin, a former Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra trombonist and Hout Bay resident, has been appointed as the orchestra’s incoming board chair.

Hout Bay resident and former musician with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, Lucien Lewin, has been appointed as the incoming chair of the orchestra’s board in what he describes as a deeply personal “homecoming”.

Lewin performed as a trombonist with the orchestra between 1998 and 2005 before pursuing a successful legal career.

He now serves as a partner at a global law firm, specialising in dispute resolution and commercial litigation.

The orchestra announced his appointment last week, saying his leadership would mark “an exciting new chapter” for the institution.
