Who chooses the pieces played?
The NSO’s Music Director chooses the music in consultation with the Management Committee. It is his responsibility to be aware of just what his orchestra can (and can’t) do. Regular listeners to the NSO will have observed over the years that the scope of the orchestra has widened and that the playing standard has improved dramatically. This is not just by chance; it is the result of an artistic policy that has been the vision of the orchestra’s Music Director.
