CBSO appoints a new leader
The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) has appointed Eugene Tzikindelean as its new leader and takes up his role at the start of the orchestra’s 2020-21 season. Born into a musical family in
Romania and educated in Bucharest and Paris, Tzikindelean won top prizes in international competitions including the Enescu Competition in Romania, the Carl Nielsen International Competition in Denmark and France’s Long- Thibaud-Crespin Competition. After holding a position with the
Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse, he has been Leader of the Odense Symphony Orchestra in Denmark since 2012. He also keeps a busy schedule as a soloist, chamber musician and guest leader with ensembles around the world including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, Oslo Philharmonic, Trondheim Symphony Orchestra, Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Copenhagen Philharmonic, and Århus and Norrkoping Symphony Orchestras, and at the Mikhailovsky Theatre in St Petersburg. His CBSO debut was in the
orchestra’s acclaimed Weinberg weekend in 2018, which included the UK premiere and the recording of a Grammy-nominated CD of Weinberg’s Symphony No.21 for Deutsche Grammophon. Eugene said: “I am humbled,
thankful and also very excited for this appointment. My time with the happy CBSO family and Mirga
Humbled: Eugene Tzikindelean
already has been so inspiring, and I look forward to contributing my energy and passion for music- making and offering stellar performances to audiences in Birmingham, the UK and around the world.” CBSO chief executive Stephen Maddock said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Eugene to the CBSO. We are all looking forward to launching our new relationship with him once concerts resume in our anniversary season.” The CBSO continues its centenary
celebrations throughout 2020, with a host of special programming, events, commissions and community initiatives drawing inspiration from its past and looking forward to the future of classical music.
Charity recycles appeal
Sustainability is high on corporate agendas nationwide, but it’s something a Midlands charity has been pioneering for the last three decades. Newlife, the charity for disabled
children, receives donations of unsold items from more than 250 leading retailers and manufacturers across the UK and Europe which would otherwise be destined for landfill. Companies including River Island,
Primark, Matalan and Amazon, donate to Newlife to meet their sustainability goals and the charity assesses the suitability of each item for resale in one of its stores, or recycles it, honouring the energy that went into manufacturing it in the first place. Funds raised are invested into changing the lives of disabled and
terminally ill children by providing them with the specialist equipment and support they need to be safe and comfortable at home. Carrick Brown, senior manager for
Newlife’s Child & Family Team, said: “The families we support have been most at risk of the effects of the pandemic and it’s more important than ever that we are there for them, often as their last hope. But we have seen a huge increase in demand for our equipment services over recent weeks and we are reliant on our supporters to be able to ensure no child is left, waiting for a piece of equipment that could change their life.”
