Jeffrey Tate
English Musician
What appeals to me about an American music directorship is the involvement of the conductor with the orchestra and the community. I think that's a fantastic thing. In Europe, being principal conductor means merely that you're the person who does most of the concerts. For me, that simply isn't enough.
Quote examples
Daniel Barenboim
Argentinian Musician
Any conductor who tells you that if he is approached for the directorship of the Chicago Symphony that he's not interested in it, you know perfectly well he's lying.

My work has taken me from historical research to involvement in electronic publishing ventures to the directorship of the Harvard University Libraries.
