He attributes the decision to the need for renewal and realization of personal projects; position will be extinguished
Guitarist, music critic and writer Arthur Nestrovsky he is no longer artistic director of Ossp Foundation. The accusation, in which obsp a new model of governance defines it, it ceases to exist and its attributions will be divided between the musical director Thierry Fischer and the team of executive director Marcelo Lopes.
Nestrovski he attributed the decision to leave office to the importance of recognizing “the moment in which it is up to the body to renew the energy reserves to carry out a project like this”. From a personal point of view, he says, it’s “time to go back to your own projects and to a life with other needs, now without the infinite load of dedication. obsp“.
The justification is in a letter that the former director read in the early afternoon of this Thursday 27 to the Osesp musicians. The new division in artistic management from the 2024 season was also explained at the meeting: the 2023 agenda, still prepared under the direction of Nestrovski, is ready and has already been announced at the end of September.
“Fischer will be responsible for articulating and implementing the long-term vision for all of the foundation’s artistic bodies, which also includes the Osesp Choir, Osesp Quartet, Osesp Quintet and youth and children’s choirs. other activities of the Artistic Direction will be distributed between Fischer and his team and Marcelo Lopes and the Executive Direction team, with an intense collaboration on fronts such as educational programs and dissemination projects throughout the State of Sao Paulo “, reads the press release from the orchestra.
The Osesp Foundation also states that “under Fischer’s management, the construction of the program and the selection of guests will take into account his vision of repertoires, styles and skills”. According to Fischer, “the next step is a greater refinement in the performance and development of the musicians and the group as a whole, with a focus on the permanent search for their identity. An integrated vision of programming and interpretation will allow us to achieve results that correspond. to the quality of our musicians and the institution “. The tenant’s initial contract expires at the end of 2024.
The direction of Nestrovski at Osesp
The arrival of Nestrovski at Osesp marked a change in the artistic management of the orchestra. He took up the post in 2010, replacing maestro John Neschling, who was fired due to disagreements with the foundation’s musicians and consultants and the São Paulo state government. At that time, one had the impression that centralizing the role of director and artistic director in a single person would lead to avoiding a concentration of power. Nestrovski was therefore the first artistic director in the history of the group who was not also the principal director: the position was mainly occupied by Yan Pascal Tortelier and then from Marin Alsop.
The Nestrovski administration was marked by changes in the concept of programming, which began to follow a general theme and included, in its agendas, all the groups of the Fundação Osesp: in addition to the orchestra, the Osesp Quartet and the Osesp Choir. Nestrovski has also created annual positions as resident artists and composers. One of the main projects realized during his tenure was the recording of all the symphonies of Heitor Villa-Loboswith the conductor Isaac Karabtchevsky.
