The Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Australia, has announced the appointment of Alondra de la Parra as Music Director. This is the first Music Director position for Ms de la Parra. QSO Chief Executive Officer Sophie Galaise said: “The appointment of Alondra de la Parra is a major turning point for the Queensland Symphony Orchestra – not only are we the first in the country to appoint a Music Director, therefore aligning ourselves with the great orchestras of the world, but with our first Music Director we have secured a music leader who could choose to work with any orchestra across the globe.” Alondra de la Parra will commence her three year role as Music Director in 2017, the orchestra’s 70th anniversary year, and she will be resident in Brisbane throughout the year.
