    Don’t know about Handler, but Samy Rachid is the real deal and will be a big name down the line. Watch his videos, he’s terrific!

  • Achim Mentzel says:

    It’s no problem getting the job if you’re represented by the same agency as the music director of the orchestra. You literally don’t need any qualifications at all.
