Boston assistant becomes music director
NewsEarl Lee, assistant conductor of the Boston symphony, has been named music director of the Ann Arbor Symphony.
Earl won this year’s Georg Solti conducting award.
He competed in Ann Arbor against a strong field of:
Lina Gonzalez-Granados (LA Opera); Perry So (Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra), Jacob Joyce (Assistant Conductor of Pittsburgh Symphony;
Oriol Sans (Catalunya, Spain) and Morihiko Nakahara (Music Director of the South Carolina Philharmonic)
The Earl Lee bird catches the worm.
Congrats Earl!
Those lucky Michiganders! Earl is an amazing conductor and consummate musician … and also genuinely kind, funny, and efficient! We loved working with him and we wish him the best in this exciting new endeavor!
Awesome! Congratulations Earl!
It was really no contest against Lina; my colleagues hated her in Ann Arbor, and also at the Dallas Opera (where it got so bad the musicians went to management against her….ask about it, she didn’t know the score at all)
very rare — to be promoted …hmmm…
What is “the Boston symphony”?
Except Perry So, all other “conductors” were no competition. Congrats, Earl
