Classical Music
Janelle Gelfand on the classical music scene


Janelle's pen has taken her to Japan, China, Carnegie Hall, Europe (twice), East and West Coasts, and Florida. In fact, Janelle was the first Enquirer reporter to report from Europe via e-mail -- in 1995.

Janelle began writing for the Cincinnati Enquirer as a stringer in 1991 while writing a Ph.D. dissertation in musicology at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. She joined the Enquirer staff in 1993.

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she graduated from Stanford University, Janelle has lived in Cincinnati for more than 30 years. In her free time, this pianist plays chamber music with her circle of musical friends in Cincinnati.

She covers the Cincinnati Symphony, May Festival and Cincinnati Opera, the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, chamber music ensembles, and as many recitals and events at CCM and NKU as possible.

Cleveland's star concertmaster under fire

I guess what really bothers me about this gossipy article in the free weekly Cleveland Scene this week about concertmaster William Preucil, is that Rebecca's Meiser's allegations are largely based on unnamed sources. Should a publication accuse someone of a sex scandal at a major conservatory of music, CIM -- with the picturesque description of a "lewd advance" -- and power plays behind the scenes of a major symphony orchestra, using so many unnamed people, such as "a member of the orchestra"? Even if it's true? Take a look at the 229 comments, too, and weigh in here!

I read the piece out of Cleveland... What a presumptuous pain in the ass is this guy... I'm sorry, nerds with instruments have no cause for arrogance...

What about nerds at advertising firms?

I can't agree with you on your points. First off, the reason the student's identity is being left out of the article is so that she can live a peaceful life, and not have a biased Preucil friend on a jury vote against her at some audition she might take. If you are in the Cleveland circle, it is pretty easy to find out who this student is. Secondly, this article does nothing but state the facts on Preucil has gotten his family members and friends into the orchestra. Every major orchestra audition uses a screen between audition candidates and jury in order to do away with any bias that the jury might have. At the Cleveland Orchestra auditions this however is not the case. They do not use a screen at all. Furthermore, anything in the article that was untrue, could be reason for a lawsuit. I am sure the newspaper met with a legal team and discuss the material they had in order to publish this story such as proof that CIM shipped this student that was vicitimized by Preucil off to an East Coast conservatory paying her full tuition, so on and so forth.
