It is an interesting fact that the Bay Area has quite a few professional and semi-professional organizations - besides the big ones in SF (Symphony, Opera, Ballet, and perhaps Philharmonia Baroque, there is the Symphony Silicon Valley, the San Jose Opera, the Peninsula Symphony, the Saratoga Symphony, the Redwood Symphony, the Berkeley Symphony, the Marin Symphony, and many others. You would think that being the music director of the San Jose Symphony for so many years, and having such a good musical reputation, might have been a stepping stone to a major symphony appointment (as quantified by budget, audience, reputation.) but such was not the case. I can think of only one holder of these lesser orgs who moved up, and that was Kent Nagano, who held the Berkeley Symphony directorship for so long. It is almost like there are two tracks - those destined to be conductors of the smaller orgs, and those who build their careers with the majors.
Sorry in advance if I left your favorite local off this list, or seemingly dissed any organization.
