A Musin student is England’s new music director
mainEnglish Touring Opera has picked Gerry Cornelius as its new music director.
A Londoner of Irish and Sri Lankan parentage, he studied in Leningrad with Ilya Musin and is principal guest with English National Ballet.
“studied in Leningrad with Ilya Musin”,
that’s yet another one to avoid then!
first we have “parkinson-shake-never-on-time-can’t-be-bothered-to-rehearse” Gergiev,
then looney-ocultic-arm-waving-pr-crap-master-greek-guy-Corretzis, and now what?
Congratulations to Maestro Cornelius, a very capable conductor with whom I have had the pleasure of working both as a composer and as a performer.
