Reineke named pops maestro in Modesto
Cincinnati conductor Steven Reineke has been named principal pops conductor of the Modesto Symphony Orchestra, the California orchestra will announce today.
Reineke will begin a three-year appointment in September as that orchestra's first-ever pops conductor. He'll conduct four outdoor conducts on the grounds of the E. & J. Gallo Winery and three indoor shows at Modesto's Gallo Center for the Arts.
The Gallo Company Headquarters is based in Modesto.
Reineke, a protégé of Erich Kunzel and a graduate of Miami University, is music associate and principal arranger and composer for the Cincinnati Pops. His 100-plus arrangements have helped create the signature sound of the Cincinnati Pops, and he's considered an emerging talent on the podium.
The orchestra has a six-concert classical season conducted by David Lockington and an annual budget of $1.5 million.
Some say Reineke is the heir apparent to Kunzel, if and when the Popsmeister ever retires. What do you think?

We are very proud of Steven and think he will go very far. Mom & Dad
Why not John Morris Russell? His Windsor Symphony Orchestra just won awards in Canada for their Peter & The Wolf recording.
