Louisville – Looking For A Leader

The Louisville Orchestra is looking for a new music director. What kind of person should lead the orchestra? “People expect more out of a music director now than they did, say, 10 years ago, because the structure of the orchestra has changed. There’s more raising money and less trading on big grants and gifts. By the same token, there must be artistic excellence. There has to be a balance. We cannot have an enigma on the podium, seen only at a masterworks concert. We have to have someone who is in the community representing the orchestra.”
