Manchester finds a Bulgarian conductor
mainThe Halle orchestra has appointed Delyana Lazarova music director of its youth orchestra, and assistant to music director Mark Elder.
She was declared winner last night of the first Halle Siemens conducting competition, with a £15,000 first prize.
From Plovdiv in Bulgaria, Delyana studied violin at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and has been a conducting fellow at Aspen.
Exciting, I look forward to hearing Delyana with the Halle soon. Toi toi toi
