In Tuesday’s (1/5) Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, Rob Golub profiles Israel-born conductor Yaniv Dinur, who started as the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s assistant conductor in November. “Dinur is coming to the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra from his previous post at American University in Washington, D.C., where he will continue as conductor for the school orchestra through May. Until then, he expects lots of plane flights between Washington, D.C. and Milwaukee. Dinur loves teaching students at American University and his Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra position will offer him a chance to continue as an educator. He will be conducting the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra during performances for schools, with talk-backs. He will also hold pre-concert talks for subscription concerts and will fill in for the lead conductor as needed. Dinur visits Israel every few months and he usually conducts in Israel once a year, each time with a different orchestra.… ‘My aspiration, my goal is to make music at the highest possible level. That’s what I want to do and that’s what makes me happy. At the same time I love to teach. This job,’ he said, ‘combines both.’ “
