American baton makes Boston debut, thanks to visa chaos
NewsThe rising American conductor Roderick Cox is being given an unexpected opportunity to conduct the Boston Symphony Orchestra in mid-November after the Dutcjman Ton Koopman failed to get a visa.
Cox, who won the 2018 Sir Georg Solti Conducting Award, has dates lined up in Munich, Seattle and Cincinnati, but Boston is a big break.
He is managed by AskonasHolt out of London.
In other US visa fallout, British pianist Nicolas Hodges has had to pull out of a Seattle Symphoy Saint-Saens concerto. His replacement is NY-based Alessio Bax.
