The opportunity to formally introduce Spanish conductor Jaime Martín as the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s (MSO) Chief Conductor Designate earlier this month – including two concerts and an open rehearsal – were disrupted by Victoria’s ongoing COVID restrictions.
Though he has since returned to Europe, Martín is looking forward to getting back to Melbourne in 2022, when he officially takes up the role of Chief Conductor. As to what Melburnians can expect from his tenure at the MSO, Martín notes that among other projects close to his heart, he is ‘incredibly focused and committed’ to music education and making orchestral music accessible for all.
