I first saw him conduct at the National Symphony where he blew away the competition. His rapport with both the audience and orchestra was later apparent at the Carter Barron. Most recently, performance at the Fairfax Symphony was on of the the best I have seen. I hope he stays in the area, as this young star is rising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960134985865578933.post-76549838396647856422008-11-03T18:47:00.000-08:002008-11-03T18:47:00.000-08:00This season is so exciting for the audience and th...This season is so exciting for the audience and the orchestra. I have been a regular at FSO concerts for years and must say that Maestro Lehninger's performance was one the most impressive I can remember experiencing. The sound was incredible and the energy of the musicians and audience was palpable. In addition, his blog and pod cast seem very sincere in that he would be committed to making the FSO the best it can be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960134985865578933.post-13726901030904400072008-10-29T09:42:00.000-07:002008-10-29T09:42:00.000-07:00So impressed by the energy, enthusiasm and authori...So impressed by the energy, enthusiasm and authority of Mr. Lehninger. The Villa-Lobos piece was a charming introduction. Ms. Cheng's passionate interpretation of the Falla piece was emotionally rich and really enhanced by Lehninger and the FSO. Scheherazade - wonderful. Such a connection to the orchestra and the audience. I have seen Mr. Lehninger conduct twice before in the Washington area and each time I leave with an immediate need to hear my favorite compositions from the evening again (iTunes is an acceptable, but not sufficient subsitute). I hope that Mr. Lehninger receives serious consideration for the position of Music Director. He gets my vote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960134985865578933.post-28783204761402796682008-10-24T18:49:00.000-07:002008-10-24T18:49:00.000-07:00Our vote is for Marcelo Lehninger.

We have had the opportunities to see and hear him conduct the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra in Jacksonville, FL, the National Symphony Orchestra under Leonard Slatkin's program in Washington, <BR/>DC, and again this summer at Carter Barren Ampitheatre. He demonstrates such enthusiasm performing and connects with the orchestras while exhibiting his understanding and love of music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
