Rhode Island picks German chief
NewsThe Rhode Island Philharmonic has named Ruth Reinhardt as its next music director.
Originally from Saarbrücken, the daughter of two medical doctors, she studied with Alan Gilbert at Juilliard and won an assistantship at the Dallas Symphony. This is her first music directorship.
She is 36 and is managed by Jonathan Brill at Opus3.
Congrats Ruth!!!! It´s a pleasure to play for you, and watch you grow…And stay the way you are!
Best wishes! (I miss Larry being in the world.)
Honestly thought she’d be destined for something a bit bigger. Will this hurt her trajectory?
No…It will make her grow….it´s good to start not with the BSO.
How about a Scripture Paraphrase???
“She who can be trusted in small things, will be trusted in greater things.”
And, to hit you with a little Gaelic:
“Gib mir ein break.”
Rhode Island is one of the US Census Department’s Top 50 Demographic Areas (in conjunction with the Fall River Media Bubble).

I’m not questioning this logic. It’s just that in the conducting profession, you can get lost in the crowd if you take a lesser known gig.
Naturally she may have her own reasons for wanting this job (e.g., steady income, influence on an entire season of concerts), and there’s nothing wrong with that. I just thought she’d land somewhere with a higher profile.
Is she that good?
No
Yay Ruth…you deserve all good things!
