There are lots of slso blog fans out there and I always
enjoy hearing from you. I sometimes get a shout out from folks down at the
Phoenix Symphony, so I wanted to let them know that one of their own, David
Nischwitz, visited Powell yesterday as part of his tour of orchestras as a
League of American Orchestras Fellow. He is one of five spending the year
gaining knowledge of the management side of the business. David stopped by my
office to say hello before he goes on to the orchestras in
The SLSO's new president, Fred Bronstein, is a graduate of
the LAO Fellowship program, and also made a visit to the SLSO during his fellowship year. (The LAO was the American Symphony Orchestra League back then. When the organization changed its name, in 2007, there were buttons given out
at the annual convention that read "We're no longer ASOL(s).")
