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.
‘I came out of my [14 days] quarantine to find a city in lockdown. But thanks to the wonders of technology, I really had the most fantastic time working with the team of the orchestra,’ Martín said.
