Oregon Symphony music director Carlos Kalmar has been appointed music director of the Orquesta Sinfónica de RTVE (Spanish Radio/Television Orchestra), effective September 2011. The initial contract is for a five year period. He succeeds British conductor Adrian Leaper, the orchestra’s music director since 2001. It’s not clear what effect this will have on Kalmar’s duties here in Portland, in terms of how many weeks he will conduct with the OSO.
Interestingly enough, it will be possible to view quite a bit of Carlo’s work with the orchestra, as many of its concerts are televised, and archived for streaming on the web via their website.
