Iolanta Pryshliak quits INSO-Lviv after local official tries to play conductor
Imagine running one of Ukraine's coolest symphony orchestras for two decades, surviving everything, only to have a local politician decide they suddenly know how to run a classical music gig.
Iolanta Pryshliak has been the driving force behind the INSO-Lviv orchestra for over twenty years, turning it into a world-class brand that collaborated with global legends. But when local politics decided to crash the stage, the music stopped.
Apparently, the acting head of the Lviv regional council decided he had some artistic notes to share. Instead of playing along with bureaucratic micromanagement, the legendary manager submitted her resignation from both the orchestra and her post at the Lviv National Philharmonic.
It takes a special kind of confidence for a regional official to think they can conduct a world-class symphony without knowing the difference between a violin and a viola.
Perhaps the regional council is planning to perform the next Beethoven symphony themselves, using only budget stamps and red tape.
