Tambi Asaad Cimuk, 17, has come first in an international competition in the Turkish city of Bursa, where he settled with his family last year.

He’s hoping to study at the Long Island Conservatory in the US.

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has been through hell and high water this past year. The players suffered a 10-week lockout, a hapless president was fired by the board and there has been a state of cold war with the Woodruff Arts Center.

Finally, the board has got its act together.

Jennifer Barlament, general manager of the Cleveland Orchestra since 2013, has been named executive director of the ASO, starting January. She comes from an impressive management team and knows which way is up.

Go, Jen.

The marriage of Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov will be solemnised at Schloss Belvedere in Vienna on December 29, according to German tabloid reports, quoting Russia’s OK magazine.

She’ll have to fit it in between rehearsals for her New Year’s Eve concert.

Anna, 43, and Yusif, 37, are inviting 250 guests, nothing too lavish.

Slipped Disc awaits an invitation.

The pianist has been named among this year’s winners of Japan’s Premium Imperiale.

The prize is worth $124,000.

There are also awards for the French architect Dominique Perrault, the dancer Sylvie Guillem, painter Tadanori Yokoo and sculptor Wolfgang Laib.
