IMG sign a Brit conductor
mainThe London conductor Ben Palmer has signed with the faltering mega-agency. He will be represented Michael Freiburg from the company’s Hannover office specialising in film music.
Ben is married to the cellist Morwenna DelMar, descendant of a conducting legend.
Extraordinary news. Surely just because he has a very tenuous link with Norman Del Mar, through nepotism doesn’t make him a good conductor. He never met Norman. Maybe it was Norman’s book that has amazingly got him into conducting film music, when all the amateur Suffolk and scratch band based at St paul’s church in Covent Garden put up with him…..How do these average conductors do it?
No nepotism is suggested here. I just like to keep Norman Del Mar’s name in the limelight in this, his centenary year.
Ah congratulations Ben!
