US orch takes concertmaster from Finland
mainBuffalo, without a concertmaster since Michael Ludwig departed 18 months ago, has announced Dennis Kim as its new numero uno.
Dennis, Korea born and Curtis trained, is currently leading the Tampere Philharmonic in Finland. He has worked previously in the US, as concertmaster in Tucson. More here.
This is a major loss to the Tampere Philharmonic, which is emerging as one of the best Nordic orchestras under the whirlwind guidance of Santtu-Matias Rouvali, but congratulations and good luck to Dennis!
Buffalo !??? –having a fun day ???Buffalo— ???????!
That’s right, Madam Milka, THE BUFFALO PHILHARMONIC- which has had such illustrious music directors as William Steinberg, Joseph Krips and Lukas Foss. And BTW, your ignorance (which you feature regularly in this blog) reveals your provincial origins.
Hear, hear!
as well as Michael Tilson Thomas and Semyon Bychkov. There was a time long, long ago that people might have had the same condescending opinion of Cleveland.. Things change.
So glad you can discern provincial origins and ignorance –but Buffalo will
always be ” Buffalo ” as in you can’t be serious …& much laughter……Buffalo !??????
And you will always be the imperious peasant who spews her ignorance on slippedisc.
When all else fails try personal attack , as Songfest does while “shuffling” off to
Buffalo which describes the place .
Obviously Buffalo has its advantages. It now has a new concertmaster, and that orchestra in Finland is looking for one. Now, time to compare chicken wings.
