    Hi there!
    Thank you very much! I am very excited :)!
    Small corrections:
    – I was the music director of Leipzig. I am music director of the Akademische Philharmonie Heidelberg.
    – I volunteered while living in Israel. I haven’t lived in Tel-Aviv for about 9 years (I live in Germany).
    Picture is awesome, thank you

    Congratulations, Maestro Ram! Chattanooga is a nice and increasingly busy city. I wish you much success and happiness there. I will spread the word to my friends and family who live nearby and hope to hear you with the Chattanooga Symphony and/or Opera when I visit TN.
