At the request of Maestro Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, the YNSO will perform Stravinsky's "Symphonies of Wind Instruments" at these two concerts, in place of a commissioned work by Maestro Skrowaczewski. The remainder of the program is unchanged.
We are delighted to announce that Maestro Tatsuya Shimono will continue as the YNSO's Resident Conductor for another three years. Originally contracted to perform with the YNSO from November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2009, he has graciously agreed to the extension and will celebrate the YNSO's 50th anniversary in 2012 with the orchestra.
We are pleased to announce that the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra (YNSO) will welcome Maestro Sylvain Cambreling as its ninth principal conductor on April 1, 2010. His three-year tenure will run through March 31, 2013.
Maestro Cambreling will succeed our current and eighth principal conductor Maestro Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, who has offered the following words of welcome: "I'm extremely happy to hear that the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra has appointed Mr. Sylvain Cambreling as my successor. In my opinion, he is one of the most talented, interesting, and experienced conductors, with a large repertoire in classical and contemporary music, as well as in opera. He's also well liked on a personal level by all the orchestras he has conducted. I think Mr. Cambreling is a wonderful choice."
Born in Amiens, France, Maestro Cambreling currently resides in Basel. As chief conductor of the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg and principal guest conductor of Klangforum Wien, he has proven himself time and again to be a gifted creator of imaginative programs and a persuasive champion of contemporary music.
We are delighted to announce that our 8th Principal Conductor, Maestro Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, will continue in this post for an additional year. Originally contracted to perform with the YNSO from April 1, 2007, through March 31, 2009, he has graciously agreed to the extension, telling us that he was "very happy to continue my work for another year."
During this extra time, Maestro Skrowaczewski will lead the YNSO in September 2009 and March 2010. We are currently discussing the details of these concerts, and are confident that they will offer the kind of dynamic program that audiences expect from both the maestro and the YNSO.
