Birmingham rows back another reform
OrchestrasOne of the first things Emma Stenning (pic) did on becoming CEO of the CBSO was to cancel the orchestra’s long-standing role as showcase for the Dudley International Piano Competition.
Guess what?
We hear the CBSO has now offered itself as one of the competition prizes. Next year’s winner will get to play a concerto of his/her choice.
This looks more and more like weather-vane management, in-out, out-in.
Stenning, by the way, urged delegates to the recent conference of the Association of British Orchestras not to read Slippedisc. Her plea fell on deaf ears. Delegate eyes were firmly fixed on their phone screens.
