The British musician who is still conducting in Moscow
NewsWe have received a flyer for a performance of Mahler’s second symphony next month in Moscow.
The conductor is Jan-Latham Koenig, 70, music director of the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires. Koenig has also been artistic director of the Novaya Opera in Moscow. In Queen Elizabeth’s 2020 Birthday Honours list he was appointed OBE ‘for services to music and UK/Russia cultural relations’.
Since then, those relations have been frozen by Putin’s illegal war on Ukraine. Koenig, however, just carries on beating time.
