Rumors in Detroit
Mark Stryker of the Detroit Free Press is reporting that Leonard Slatkin is a hot contender to replace Neeme Jarvi at the Detroit Symphony. From his early post at St. Louis Symphony, where he was a highly visible part of the city, Slatkin, now 62, been considered one of America's best conductors.
Detroit has struggled long and hard to make the pick... Then there's this: "Despite Slatkin's high profile, he was unknown ... to most DSO players because he hadn't been here in 20 years," reports Stryker.
They appointed Peter Oundjian (who has Cincinnati ties as former CCM faculty member and former violinist in the Tokyo String Quartet) as principal guest conductor and artistic adviser while they undergo the search.
