Morlot, incoming Seattle Symphony maestro, is “ready to build something”
Melinda Bargreen, Special to The Seattle Times
Jet-lagged but unfailingly charming, incoming Seattle Symphony maestro Ludovic Morlot conducted Thursday’s daylong series of media interviews — television, radio, print, Internet — with all the grace of a Mozart symphony.
It’s clear that his “people skills” will be a considerable asset to the French-born Morlot’s first job as music director (which he starts in 2011), a position in which making music will not be the only part of the job as this city’s musical figurehead.
