Yeah, my management said they wouldn't agree to my terms, so they went with someone else.

That's a good fit IMHO. What a grand orchestra (and especially grand brass section) and a tremendously talented and skilled conductor.

Also, I always enjoy seeing Latvian musicians getting work. My father was born in Riga, though I was born in Washington, DC. I've met several other Latvian-American professional musicians, but not another AL tuba player yet. Anyone else out there?

By the way, Andris is a brass player. He's a trumpeter!

Great appointment!

I played tuba on Andris Nelson's 1st CD recording with the City Of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) and he is dynamic!
