Brandenburg’s new chief is former principal flute
UncategorizedThe Frenchman Olivier Tardy has been chosen as the new chief of the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra. He starts next season, succeeding the veteran Peter Gülke, 86.
Tardy is a former principal flute at Bavarian State Opera.
By “chief” do you mean a CEO/executive type ?
Or principal conductor ?
Principal Conductor…
Congratulations!
I’ve played under Olivier several times – enthusiastic musician, engaging and charming personality.
Interestingly, before Gülke, the GMD in Brandenburg for 15 years was Michael Helmrath: another ex- Munich wind principal (oboe with Celibidache’s Munich Philharmonic)
I didn’t know that he’s resigned/former principal flute? Where you get this information?
He’s still listed in orchetra’s website + there isn’t audition for principal flute
