Vinay is an amazing conductor, but more an amazing young man. His intelligence, musicality and humanity are apparent to anyone who comes in contact with him.
While we are extremely sad to lose him, we all know he will be a HUGE success in Cleveland and make us proud to have worked with him early in what will be an amazing career. We wish him well. I will personally miss working with him.
Vin et Parmesan. Is he a gourmet too?
Yes, he is.
