Raymond Froehlich has been percussionist for the San Fransisco Symphony since 1991.



In high school Raymond Froehlich was living on Kauai, playing drums in a jazz big band and the Makai Brotherhood Blues Band. He played all over the island, mainly at Taylor’s Camp in Hanalei, which was a hippie mecca.



Raymond Froehlich wanted to move to the mainland, and one of the band members suggested San Francisco. He practiced everything you need to get into a classical school, and ended up at the Conservatory.



Raymond Froehlich is also in a rock trio, and a group called the Ultra World X-tet, which involves Chinese instruments.



Raymond Froehlich has served as a Symphony mentor in the SF Symphony Community of Music Makers program.
