The next candidate for the Illinois Symphony Orchestra's open music directorship visits Bloomington-Normal and Springfield this weekend.
Israeli conductor Yaniv Dinur keeps a home base in Milwaukee, where he concluded a long stint as resident conductor of the Milwaukee Symphony. He recently renewed his contract as music director of the New Bedford Symphony in Massachusetts.
“It’s very common that conductors hold more than one position,” he said. His goal is to toggle between New Bedford and central Illinois if he is hired as the orchestra’s next music director.
