Comparison of the State Philharmonic and Symphony Orchestra season openers: Which of the concerts was better?, 26.09.2021

The Nuremberg State Philharmonic has scored a coup with the engagement of Alondra de la Parra. The 40-year-old Mexican replaced GMD Joana Mallwitz, who is on maternity leave. And because Mallwitz is leaving Nuremberg for Berlin in 2023, de la Parra could well be a successor candidate. This is amusing in that the Symphony Orchestra had already sought de la Parra in 2017 as the successor to principal conductor Alexander Shelley, but the conductor preferred to join the Queensland Symphony Orchestra in Brisbane, Australia.The Nuremberg State Philharmonic has scored a coup with the engagement of Alondra de la Parra.
