Conductor by Gianandrea Noseda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The National Symphony Orchestra has announced conductor Gianandrea Noseda as new musical director for the 2017-18 season.<\/p>\n

At age 51, Noseda was named 2015 Conductor of the Year by the magazine Musical America. He was has been music director of the Teatro Regio Torino since 2007 (a post he still holds), principal guest conductor of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and was chief conductor of the BBC Philharmonic between 2002 and 2011.<\/p>\n

Born in Milan, he first started working with the NSO in 2011. In an interview with the Washington Post<\/a>, spoke highly about of the connection he shared with the NSO musicians in particular.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see in the eyes of the players,” he said. “The wish; We can do it, we have just to be asked to do it, we want to deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noseda will replace current Director Christoph Eschenbach, who announced last February that he would not be extending his contract as music director beyond 2017.<\/p>\n

The search committee was swayed by orchestra members, who, as the Washington Post reported, kept coming up to members of the search committee and saying, \u2018Get this guy.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra has shared a similar response to Noseda leadership style and has appeared as guest conductor with the TSO over a dozen times since his Toronto debut in 2001. If fact, until now, some speculated if Noseda might be a possible successor to current TSO Conductor Peter Oundjian, who’s contract now runs through the 2016-2017 season.<\/p>\n

Musical Toronto caught up with Noseda last year and asked him about working with the TSO during his tour of Rossini\u2019s William Tell<\/em> in late 2014. He confessed a particular love for the city, which he said he often misses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first started to organize this tour with the orchestra, chorus and soloists,\u201d says Noseda, \u201cmy intention was always to include Toronto because I think that I have a special rapport with the city and with the audience.”<\/p>\n
