New British boss in Dresden
mainThe Dresden Staatakapelle has appointed Adrian Jones to succeed the veteran Jan Nast as orchestra director.
Jones, 52, is a former cellist who rose to become orchestra director at Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin.
Congrats to Adrian. A fantastic musician and human being.
Good luck. Anyone working in a Christian Thielemann house needs to bring a flame retardant suit and a parachute to work.
A Brit with a lovely South African accent! Great choice.
Excellent news! Many congratulations to Dresden for choosing such a first class person!
