He’s with IMG Artists.

  • John Rook says:

    How much presence will that new position require? Could be tricky to combine the two as he’s very present in Santiago.

    • GK says:

      He does not live in Chile. He lives in Vienna. It shouldn’t a problem because during the summer in Chile he can be in the winter season in Russia.

      • John Rook says:

        I know he doesn’t live in Chile but he’s very heavily involved in the whole season.

        • Musician says:

          They have a very good resident conductor, Pedro Pablo Prudencio, who rehearse for Chudovsky a lot, not to mention Prudencio does the job better. The production of Berg’s Lulu with Prudencio this year was a great success.

  • Victoria Herrera says:

    Chudovsky left Chile in early 2019. Personally, I will miss him. His conduction of Russian Operas and, Schostakovich made me love even more Russian music. I wish him the best in his home country.
