American Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra (SPCO) has named the British early-music specialist Richard Egarr (55) as its newest artistic partner.
In 2004, the SPCO transferred broad artistic responsibilities from a music director to the SPCO musicians and an intentionally diverse group of Artistic Partners. The current roster of Artistic Partners consists of American pianist Jeremy Denk, Swedish clarinetist Martin Fröst, Moldovan violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto and British multi-instrumentalist and Baroque specialist Jonathan Cohen.
Richard Egarr does not begin his SPCO tenure until September 2019.
