Chautauqua
Institution is pleased to announce that Stefan Sanderling has accepted the Institution's
invitation to become the new music director of the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra.
Sanderling
stated, "I am honored and excited to become the new music director of the Chautauqua
Symphony Orchestra. Since my first appearance with this great orchestra, I have
been taken by their wonderful music making, their commitment to excellence and
their extraordinary camaraderie. If there is one place in the world where the
utopia of a true synthesis of the arts, philosophy, religion and education can
become reality, this place is Chautauqua. I am thrilled to be a part of the Chautauqua
Institution and look forward to my first season in the summer of 2008." 2008
