Today my wife and I attended the final concert of the Greenville [SC] Symphony Orchestra's 2022-23 season. It marks the retirement of conductor Edvard Tchivzhel after leading the GSO for 24 years. The single work on the program was Mahler's Symphony No. 2, "Resurrection".
Immediately after the end of the symphony, Tchivzhel is still on the podium facing the orchestra, with the two vocal soloists to the left.
On the linked Wikipedia page you can read the story of how he defected from the USSR to the US in 1991, in a process that began in Greenville.
Next season, the GSO will have a series of guest conductors, trying to become the orchestra's next music director.
