Las Vegas Philharmonic Music Director, Evidently Peeved, Declines To Renew Contract

“Fresh off Memorial Day Weekend, about 6 a.m., [David] Itkin cut loose with an email to the L.V. Phil’s board of directors, which he copied to the LVP Orchestra Players Committee, stating that he planned to leave the orchestra in 2013. In that message, Itkin said that artistic differences and a lack of institutional transparency weighed in his decision to leave his post.”
