Isn’t this Pedro Halffter’s *other* orchestra?
In other words, Chichón lost out on one but got the other, and a much better home. Is this correct?
(There was a big fight over the other orchestra, in Sevilla, between Chichón and Halffter.)
Good luck to him. I conducted there in December. A very fine orchestra!
You also conducted the choir as well.
Mr Chichon is, reportedly, 46 years old.
