CLOCKING IN

Norman Lebrecht (November) reported in error that the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s new music director Jader Bignamini “has yet to clock in on the job”. In fact, he opened our digital season with four programmes over two weeks this past September.

This was actually much earlier than he was scheduled to appear in his first season as music director. His original, pre-pandemic debut week was set for 7-11 December, which he will also still be conducting here in Detroit.
