08 Apr Roger Kalia Named Music Director Of Evansville Philharmonic
Indian American conductor Roger Kalia has been named Music Director of the 87 year-old Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra (EPO) in Indiana today. The orchestra, the largest arts organization in the tri-state area (where the states of Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois intersect), announced the appointment via a Zoom press conference at 4:00 PM Central Time/5:00 PM Eastern Time rather than in person -as has become the norm in recent days as a result of COVID-19 and safe social distancing practices. It is Kalia’s second music directorship in as many years.
Mr. Kalia said of the new post, “I am honored to be named Music Director of the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra. This is an innovative and passionate organization with deep roots in the community, and I look forward to being a part of the meaningful, collaborative community connections the EPO offers through its concerts, outreach and family, youth and education offerings. The 2020-21 season promises to be exciting and engaging, and I cannot wait to share this music with you in the concert hall beginning this fall.”
