Vancouver Symphony recruits in Berlin
mainThe Vancouver Symphony has hired Misha Aster as Vice President, Artistic Planning and Production.
Aster, 40, is author of a soft-touch history of the Berlin Philharmonic in the Nazi era. He works for Deutsche Grammophon in Berlin as a producer and is on the board of the Gustavo Dudamel Foundation.
Vancouver, which reaches its centenary next year, has also taken on Neil Middleton from Winnipeg as V-P, Marketing & Sales.
Wonderful choice, excellent!
I wish him well. A big job with big shoes to fill.
