All change today on viola
OrchestrasZurich has announced a new professor of viola. Lilli Maijala presently heads the viola department at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki.
The Hague Conservatoire, not to be outdone, has picked Lech Antonio Uszynski of the Stradivari Quartet as its next viola professor.
And a major US quartet is about to roll out a new violist later today. UPDATE: Here goes.
All change.
Zurich has to be one of the world’s most musical towns: for Classical music at any rate. How many orchestras does it have, as well as a first-class opera house? And this for a city that’s not that big.
Lech Antonio Uszynski, from Basel
