NEW ST. LOUIS SYMPHONY DIRECTOR NAMED
David Robertson receives a standing ovation after he is introduced as the new Music Director for the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra 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)
