National Finals 2002:
Championship Section
The conductors records...
Here’s the list they don’t like you looking at. Each
of the twenty conductors at the National Championships will have
some sort of form at the Royal Albert Hall – some good, some
nearly great and more than a few making up the numbers.
Of the twenty on show, some have been around for longer than you
might have expected, whilst quite a few this year will be making
their debuts. However they do, they join a very select band of conductors
who have actually directed a performance from the stage of perhaps
the famous concert hall in the world. That is something to be very
proud of.
Lynda Nicholson, Major Ian McElligott, Paul Murrell, Gwyn Evans
and Frans Violet will be taking their first ever bow here in the
Premier event, so here are the records of the others who have been
here before.
