Conductor Thomas Wilkins has been a familiar face to classical music
fans in Los Angeles since at least 2008, when he was appointed principal
guest conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.
On Thursday,
Wilkins officially took on a new title with the orchestra -- principal
conductor -- signaling a more permanent role in the institution. Wilkins
made his Bowl debut in 2007 and has held a series of two-year
appointments in his role as principal guest conductor.
Wilkins is
scheduled to lead the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra in eight concerts during
the 2014 summer season, including Saturday's opening night performance.
In addition to his position at the Bowl, he is the music director of
the Omaha Symphony in Nebraska.
