Jeffrey Kahane interviewed in the Los Angeles Times about new faculty appointment at Thornton

The Los Angeles Times interviewed the acclaimed pianist and music director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra about his new appointment as faculty in Thornton’s Keyboard Studies department beginning in fall 2015. He steps down from his LACO post in 2017. “I love the orchestra and things are going very well, but it’s been 18 years and I think everything has to change at some point,” Kahane said. “And since I’ll remain the conductor laureate, I’ll have an ongoing relationship with the orchestra, so really with that and Thornton my relationship to Los Angeles is just going to get deeper.”
