    is a music director (or more than one) title really the must-have it once was? there are plenty of excellent conductors without them. you could claim title collectors just want safe pay cheques

      Well who doesn’t?

    • Niklas Willen says:

      And there are plenty of non excellent conductors with titles.

    • Mick the Knife says:

      Yes, and not for the reasons you state.

    • Larry says:

      It’s not just the conductors who benefits from being a “music director.” Theoretically, at least, the orchestra also benefits because it develops a long-term musical/artistic relationship with said conductor who is also involved with hiring/firing of players and who is a public “face” to the community.

    What does management have to do with anything, why is it of any interest to anyone? It only affects people in the business side, which has nothing to do with music.

  • JBT says:

    Ludovic is a great conductor who surely will find a new great orchestra to call home
