I've
been remiss in telling you the great news about Afro-Venezuelan
conductor Rafael Payare and that back in January he was named chief
conductor of the Ulster Orchestra in Belfast, Northern Ireland starting
this year:
In what industry insiders are calling a major coup for Northern Ireland,
one of the world’s most exciting emerging conductors has been appointed
as the new Chief Conductor of the Ulster Orchestra. Rafael Payare, 33,
from Venezuela, is regarded internationally as one of the most talented
of the new generation of conductors.
Winner of the 2012 Malko Conducting Competition, Maestro Payare has
already worked with some of the leading orchestras of Europe and North
America.Maestro Payare will join the Ulster Orchestra in September, when New Yorker JoAnn Falletta’s three-year contract comes to an end.
Dr Rosa Solinas, Chief Executive of the Ulster Orchestra, said: ‘The past twelve months have been exciting, especially given our key role in the Derry~Londonderry inaugural UK City of Culture year, but the immediate future promises to be even more so: Rafael’s exceptional musicality and his natural command and energy on the podium have impressed everyone. We can’t wait to begin working with him in earnest. We think his fresh approach to music-making – not only in the concert hall but throughout the community – is great news for Belfast and for the whole of Northern Ireland.’
Maestro Payare added: ‘From the moment I first conducted the Ulster Orchestra in October, the players made a great impression on me. The chemistry was immediate and a very special bond was formed. I am really looking forward to embarking on the wonderful journey that is about to start and I am thrilled to share and be part of the Orchestra’s future!
