Didn't know a new music director can dump a tenured concert master
Follow Ups:
For instance, when Mehta left the LAPO for the NYPO, he took his concertmaster, Glenn Dicterow, with him. Dicterow then automatically assumed the concertmaster position in NY.
Or was the position open? And was that concert master tenured? The only orchestras whose inner workings I ever hear much about are LA and San Francisco. And my understanding with L.A. is once tenured a music director can't touch you unless you are in clear violation of orchstra rules.
Maybe he could have applied for the newly vacant concertmaster position in LA! ;-)
Are you joking?
Although I suppose it was certainly within the realm of possibility (even though it didn't happen!). I forget who the displaced concertmaster in NY was - was it David Nadien?
David Nadien left the NY Phil in 1970. I don't know who served as (acting?) concertmaster before Rodney Friend was appointed in around 1975. When he left, Glenn Dicterow got the job, and he was replaced by Frank Huang (Asian-born American) in 2015.
They still have Martin Chalifour as concert master. Where did you see that he was no longer there?
I guess we got off track in our communication somewhere! ;-)
I think the union contract between LA Phil and it's musicians has changed a bit since then. Pretty sure a tenured concert master can't be given the boot by a new music director these days. Pretty sure no tenured musician can be given the boot or demoted. I could be wrong...but i do believe this was a big issue for Salonen when he became the music director of the LA Phil
if the price is right
