The Tallahassee Symphony interviewed five finalists for the role of conductor. The last of those has become the winning pick. Yaniv Dinur will be leading the TSO.

The announcement came during a Friday luncheon at the symphony’s headquarters. Dinur told the audience of board members, musicians and fans that he had one major mission as a conductor.

“Make the audience happy and go through unforgettable musical experiences and enrich their life.”

That's a goal in perfect harmony with Symphony Manager Mandy Stringer.

“He’s going to be excellent in making the classics even better. He’s going to be great doing our Spooktacular concert for kids and families. He says his favorite concert, even though he’s Israeli and Jewish is the Christmas concert. So he’s excited about that.”

Maestro Dinur will lead off the Tallahassee Symphony’s season-opening concert September 13th.
