女流指揮者の(上昇)移動 [音楽時評]

フロリダ州のTallahassee Symphony Orchestra music director/conductor Miriam Burns が,2011~2012年を越えて契約更改しないと,辞任の意向を楽団側に伝えたといいます.        

そのpost への 200名に及び立候補者の中から抜きんでて選ばれてMusic Director になった彼女は,楽団側と対立があった訳ではなく,楽員ともよい関係にあって,Orchestraのレベル・アップにも大きな貢献をしたので,楽団はたいへん残念がっていますが,彼女は指揮者のスムースな移行には全面的に協力すると表明しています.

彼女は,元々はviolinist だったのですが,左腕に問題が生じて,指揮者に転向して成功した人です,                                                             今後は,Burns is a back-up conductor for the New York Philharmonic, and she serves as music director/conductor of the Kenosha Symphony in Wisconsin and the Orchestra of the Redeemer in New York City.                         とますます活躍の場を広げようとしています,

今後いっそうの成長を大いに期待したいと思います.

 

Conductor resigns from TSO

Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra music director/conductor Miriam Burns has submitted her resignation, which will become effective at the end of the orchestra's 2011-2012 season.

Burns sent a letter dated Wednesday to the board of directors saying she had decided not to extend her engagement as music director at the end of her three-year term.

"I will work with you to make next season an outstanding postscript to my tenure here, and, if desired, will work with you after my term is over to facilitate the transition or even cover gaps beyond my contract until a new music director is on board," she wrote. "I would like the transition to be seamless and not only professional, but exciting; a public relations bonus to the TSO and a musical gift to our audience."

Nancy Bivins, a former board member, said she was sad to see Burns go. Bivins even wrote Burns a fan letter expressing her dismay.

"I thought Miriam was wonderful," Bivins said. "Everybody, I thought, was just happy as clams. She seemed to bring a new vitality."

TSO patron Dick Puckett also was crestfallen to hear Burns would be leaving.

"This is the worst thing that could happen to the TSO," Puckett said. "She's shown class in the time she's been there. I think so much of this group. My wish would've been that they renew her for another three years."

TSO board president Sean Singleton said the board would issue a statement Tuesday regarding the resignation.

"She just feels like it's time to do it," said Beverly Ewald, a board member who houses Burns when she's in town for rehearsals and performances.

In 2006, Burns beat out a crowded field of more than 200 applicants for the post after a two-year search, becoming the first female conductor of the orchestra. She was a hit with audience members and patrons as a guest conductor during the search, when she took the stage in a custom-fit tuxedo with tails. She stepped into a position vacated when former conductor David Hoose stepped down in 2005 after an 11-year tenure.

She began her music career as a violinist while growing up the daughter of a dentist and a music teacher in Columbus, Ohio. She studied at Ohio State University's well-known music school with every intention of becoming a professional violinist but was sidelined by persistent pain in her left arm, laying down the violin and taking up conducting.

Burns is a back-up conductor for the New York Philharmonic, and she serves as music director/conductor of the Kenosha Symphony in Wisconsin and the Orchestra of the Redeemer in New York City.
