Another music director calls it quits
mainAfter 12 years with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in Canada, Bill Eddins has decided not to renew his contract at the end of the season.
An engaging, outspoken character, Eddins will be titled emeritus music director at the relatively early age of 52.
He has also been principal guest conductor of the RTE Orchestra in Dublin and assistant to Daniel Barenboim in Berlin.
He also had a great blog (http://www.insidethearts.com/sticksanddrones) which unfortunately he ended at the start of the year.
I can see that staying too long in one place might get a conductor typecast.
Yeah. That turned out horribly for Ormandy…
