German orchestra chief quits inside a year
mainThe artistic director of the Jena Philharmonic, Juliane Wandel, has gone.
The orchestra says it is of her own volition, and both sides have committed to non-disclosure.
Wandel is Jena’s third orchestra chief this decade.
Maybe they need new glasses.
They certainly need a new search process.
btw, artistic director isn’t quite right. She was orchestra manager or managing director (Intendant).
A year in Jena would drive anyone crazy.
If they need new glasses, Jena is certainly the right place to be.
Not cheap though, Carl Zeiss
Great quality, though…
Should’ve gone to SpecSavers.
Juliane Wandel was organizing the orchestra academy of Berlin Philharmonic and wasn’t suited for organizing with structure and a plan as well.
A very unsympathetic, negative person as well.
I guess Jena is relieved.
Your points notwithstanding, I don’t know if relief is the appropriate sentiment, considering Jena has run through three Intendanten in as many years.
