A Passion for the Cello (Hidden and Revealed)

Warren Mack

Warren Mack is a fifth-generation lawyer. He's also a pilot, a writer and the newly named chair of the Minnesota Orchestra Board. He and his wife, Linda, have been season-ticket holders for decades. Warren is also a crypto-cellist: he plays only when no one is around.
