slatkin and dudamel start to make marks

Some random orchestrally-themed news that I recommend to you:

First, the Detroit Free Press published a wonderfully comprehensive article on the activities of Leonard Slatkin as he prepares to officially take the reins of the Detroit Symphony this Fall.

Next, the Orange County Register reports on the first appearance in Los Angeles of Gustavo Dudamel with the Philharmonic after being appointed music director designate.

Also, Robert Levine has produced a written transcript of a discussion led by host Jonathan Schaefer with Robert Flanagan (author of the recent study of orchestral finances) and Deborah Borda (Executive director of the LA Philharmonic) on the WQXR radio program Soundcheck.
