"The Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) has announced the appointment of violinist Alexander Velinzon as its new first associate concertmaster, holding the Helen Horner McIntyre chair, and its new Boston Pops concertmaster. Velinzon joined the BSO in 2000 under music director Seiji Ozawa, becoming the assistant concertmaster in 2005 and the associate concertmaster in 2015."
From what I've heard, they have exhausted much of their trialists from the US, and we can expect whoever is trialing from now on to be a European player. (I'm not in the BSO so I could be completely wrong)

I heard that they'll have to start the process all over again from the beginning.
So this is a continued no hire, correct? Anyone know what's up behind the scenes, or going forward?
