Agency can’t get enough short sticks
mainHarrisonParrott has signed its first conductor of 2019 (or maybe just of the week).
Its new addition is Aziz Shokhakimov, winner of the 2016 Salzburg Festival Nestlé Young Conductors Award.
He’s 31 and was previously with the Vienna agency Dr. Raab & Dr. Böhm.
It’s all about volume and turnover these days.
Watch out for this guy– He is brilliant and will attain great heights in his career.
No doubt talentedbut I can’t help thinking “what the ***** was this guy at 15-yo doing in front of a professional orchestra!”
What the ***** was Lorin Maazel at 11-yo doing in front of NBC orchestra?
I found this video of him conducting around 25 years old. Not bad at all this Glazunov.
