Exclusive: NY Philharmonic eyes a woman president
OrchestrasWe’re hearing that talks with Philadelphia’s Matias Tarnopolski have stalled.
The new favourite to lead the New York Philharmonic is Marie-Hélène Bernard of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
Some expect an announcement in the next couple of days.
Bernard has spent nine years in St Louis. Has she got the chops for NY? Guess we’ll know soon enough.
She’s a… force of nature.
Can she get along with Dudamel? In St. Louis people think she drove out David Robertson and he’s never been back.
Perfect choice if you want to clean house and do it again every 18 months.
