DAVID ROBERTSON NAMED DIRECTOR OF ST. LOUIS SYMPHONY

David Robertson along with wife, pianist Orli Shaham, talk with reporters after being introduced as the new Music Director for the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra at Powell Symphony Hall in St. Louis on December 10, 2003. Robertson becomes the 12th person and the second American-born director to hold the title since the organization was established in 1880. He joins the Saint Louis Symphony after an eighteen-month international search for a replacement for Hans Vonk, who resigned the position in April 2002 due to ill health. Robertson is currently the Music Director of the Orchestre National de Lyon. (UPI Photo/Bill Greenblatt)
