A longtime Boston Symphony Orchestra flutist and musical trailblazer has died, the orchestra said Monday. Doriot Anthony Dwyer was 98.
Dwyer, the second woman ever to win a principal chair in a major U.S. orchestra, died Saturday in Lawrence, Kansas, the BSO said in a statement.
A cause of death was not given, but her daughter, Arienne Dwyer, said she simply died of old age. Dwyer was the Boston Symphony’s principal flutist for nearly 40 years, first studying with her mother before attending the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York.
She joined the BSO in 1952, becoming just the second woman to serve as a principal in a prominent orchestra after Helen Kotas, who became principal horn of the Chicago Symphony in 1941.
