New chief at the New World Symphony
mainWe hear that Martin Sher, general manager of North Carolina Symphony, is to be Senior Vice President of Educational and Artistic Programs at NWS, succeeding Douglas Merilatt.
Martin is a top-class violist. When he lived in Berlin he used to dep with the Berlin Philharmonic.
Congrats to Martin! A class-act administrator, musician and human.
Norman: what means “dep?”
deputise
do you mean “substitute,” as in a substitute violist, ie., not a regular member but hired from time to time when/if needed?
British people got such a porsch vocabulary, comparing with USA’s average ones. Blood hell!
