To mark Jaap van Zweden’s final concerts as music director of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, on Thursday (5/10) the Dallas Morning News published multiple articles about his tenure. Van Zweden leaves the Dallas Symphony after a decade to become music director of the New York Philharmonic. The coverage includes an article in which classical music writer Scott Cantrell assesses van Zweden’s impact on the Dallas Symphony; video featuring four Dallas Symphony musicians who speak about his tenure; an additional article in which Dallas Symphony musicians offer their thoughts; a question-and-answer interview with van Zweden; an article in which Cantrell discusses how van Zweden might fit in at the New York Philharmonic; an article speculating about possible music directors at the Dallas Symphony; a review of a recent Dallas Symphony ReMix concert; and a schedule of van Zweden’s final concerts as music director of the Dallas Symphony, which conclude with Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
