Canada music director suddenly quits
NewsLudwig Van Toronto are first with the news that Tafelmusik, the eminent baroque orchestra, are headless once again.
Elisa Citterio, the La Scala violinist who took over as music director from Jeanne Lamon in 2017, has left without notice.
Neither side is saying a word.
A search party has been sent out…. sorry, call that an artistic search committee.
maybe she misses the italian weather and the good food.
Anyone that thinks you can’t get great Italian food in Toronto (as well as elsewhere in Canada) probably thinks you can’t get decent Indian food in London.
London Ontario is not a large city but I’m certain it has a multitude of restaurants and Indian food is among them.
I’d be astonished!
Poor, provincial Canada.
She refused to be vaccinated against covid 19
It usually only takes one winter. She lasted five. Commendable..
You are, of course, referring to the performance style.
Not the weather…..
Hmmm…Toronto…or Milan…hmmm…
I have attended her performance with Tafelmusik. The piece of the day was Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D. I can clearly tell she is not a good fit for this orchestra.
While AISSLINN NOSKY was in Toronto, I can clearly tell she wanted this role but didn’t get it. Now she is the Concertmaster of H+H in Boston.
What made you think she wasn’t a good fit?
Elisa brought a new sound and performance style to Tafelmusik but the ensemble were unfortunately unwilling to evolve, and remain stuck in a performance style from the 1980s.
Departed without notice, without comment from either side!?!?
Sounds kinda, well, “personal”?
