ANDREW CRUST APPOINTED MUSIC DIRECTOR OF THE VERMONT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
The Vermont Symphony Orchestra (VSO) is thrilled to announce the appointment of Andrew Crust for a four-year term as its fifth Music Director, effective March 2023. Crust succeeds Jaime Laredo, who stepped down from the position in 2021 after a twenty-year tenure leading the orchestra. Crust’s first concert as the VSO’s Music Director will take place on September 30, 2023 at the Flynn in Burlington. Curst is currently in his third year as Music Director of the Lima Symphony Orchestra where he will continue to conduct the Grand Series, Pops, and Education programs.
“I am overjoyed and deeply grateful to the musicians, staff, and Board of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra for choosing me to be the orchestra’s next musical leader in its 89th season. I want to also recognize the immense impact of outgoing Music Director Jaime Laredo, whose artistic vision shaped this orchestra over two decades and paved the way for exciting new growth in the future. When I performed for the first time with the VSO in February 2023, I was immediately struck by not only the orchestra’s extremely high artistic quality and sense of pride, but also their desire to explore new repertoire, and to continue to evolve and adapt as the modern world continues to change. I am very much looking forward to the impactful and transformative work we will do together in the coming seasons.” - Andrew Crust
