NEW YORK — Matías Tarnopolsky will become president and CEO of the New York Philharmonic on Jan.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tarnopolsky played clarinet and received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music and musicology from King’s College, London. A performance of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony by Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic at the 1987 BBC Proms had an especially memorable impact.
“This is a full circle moment because in a funny way this started when I used to work at the New York Philharmonic and I went to visit a conductor called Gustavo Dudamel in his home country of Venezuela, went to Caracas to visit him, and we immediately hit it off,” Tarnopolsky said. “I watched him work with the kids of the Simón Bolivar and was just blown away, and so we invited him to conduct the New York Philharmonic. So this is a story almost two decades in the making.
“Frankly, it just wasn’t a good fit from both Gary’s perspective and our perspective,” May said. “Matías clearly had significantly more experience than Gary has had in terms of leading one of the top orchestras in the country and we’re quite confident that this is the right guy for the job.” Aspen Leadership Group, which assisted on the search that led to Gintsling’s hiring, worked with a six-member search committee to identify about a half-dozen candidates.
