“The Georgia Symphony Orchestra’s two-year search to find its next music director is over as Timothy Verville will be the new music director starting on July 1,” states an unsigned article published June 6 (Monday) in the Marietta Daily Journal (Marietta, Ga.; subscription required). A winner of the American Prize for Orchestral Performance, Verville is artistic director and conductor of the Tempe-based ensemble Arizona Pro Arte, which he founded, and recently completed his tenure as music director and orchestra conductor at Idyllwild (Calif.) Arts Academy. “He has conducted orchestras in Japan as well as the Tucson Symphony Orchestra in Arizona, Signature Symphony at Tulsa Community College in Oklahoma and Richmond Symphony Orchestra in Indiana.” Verville holds music degrees from the University of Oklahoma, Arizona State University, and Boston Conservatory, and studied conducting at the Pierre Monteux School in Maine.
