Music Director/Conductor, Allan Pollack, Retires From Symphony of the Redwoods
Symphony of the Redwoods learned recently from Allan Pollack that he
will be retiring from his long time position as the Symphony’s music
director and conductor. While he will be sorely missed, we’re happy to
know he'll have more time for wonderful new endeavors, including his
passion for composing. Symphony of the Redwoods is making plans to
acknowledge and honor Allan’s three decades of inspiring and uplifting
contributions to our classical musical scene.
A search committee comprised of musicians and board members has
been formed to find a new conductor and music director. The reputation
of Symphony of the Redwoods extends well beyond the coast and we are
energized already by widespread interest in this position. Symphony of
the Redwoods is excited to be entering a new chapter with many more
years of orchestral music, be it classical or contemporary, right here on
the Mendocino Coast.
