Reply to comment by IHTFPhD in I'm concertmaster (principal violin) of New York's Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and a professor at Juilliard. Next week, I'll be performing with the Mainly Mozart All-Star Orchestra in San Diego - the largest annual gathering of concertmasters and principal players in North America. AMA! by MainlyMozartSD

They’re totally different skillsets; sure, some elite soloists could do a good job leading an orchestra and some concertmasters could do a great job performing concertos, but still, there’s quite a bit of specialization that muddies any possible comparison.
