Young Israeli is Germany’s new music director
mainYoel Gamzou has been named music director in Bremen.
Yoel – who is 29, not 30 as stated in German media – is a multi-talented, thoughtful composer who has created and recorded his own version of Mahler’s tenth symphony. He has previously been Kapellmeister in Kassel, where Mahler preceded him.
Yoel Gamzou is 30 years old… Was born on March 10, 1987. Please correct, Norman.
Yoel told me yesterday he is 29. Take it up with him.
Is it significant ?
Yes… I would expect a future Music Director (who is supposed to be a social figure/leader) to be honest with himself, but more important – with his audience and colleagues. This example, is certainly not in his favor.
You are exaggerating…maybe he will be 30 this year?
Just in order to clarify this – Norman is absolutely correct, I am 29, only turning 30 next year. I hope I don’t have to submit a copy of my passport in order to remove all doubt…?
It’s O.K. My point is that it is not a significant detail to argue about…
