“Winston-Salem Symphony Music Director Timothy Redmond is stepping down from the podium,” writes David Ford in last Thursday’s (8/26) WFDD radio (Winston-Salem, NC). “Redmond joined the orchestra in October of 2019, following Bob Moody’s 13 years at the helm. On Tuesday, he submitted his resignation effective immediately and the public announcement by the symphony came the following day. In his statement, the British conductor with engagements throughout Europe and the U.S. said the frequent commute to and from Winston-Salem was no longer sustainable, and he feared burning out. Symphony Board Chair Carol Reeve says … she’s thankful for his leadership, particularly through the pandemic—reimagining how the symphony operated…. ‘He brought creative and innovative thinking that has helped us see more of what the symphony can be, and how we can bring music to more diverse parts of our community and further corners of the world.’ … Reeve says plans are already in place to invite talented guest conductors from across the country to help round out the season.”
