With 2 years left on his current contract, the 8-year extension leads him to YSO's 100-year milestone.

The York Symphony Orchestra has committed to an 8-year contract extension with current Music Director and Maestro Lawrence Golan. Golan has been expertly leading the YSO's orchestra since 2014. With 2 years left on his current contract, the 8-year extension leads him to YSO's 100-year milestone.

"The fact that the organization believes in me enough to want to keep me on the podium for at least the next ten years. But beyond that, the York Symphony Orchestra has been growing and improving steadily over the past ten years. We are firing on all cylinders." Golan said.

Golan continues to grow not only the audience but also the musical excellence of all musicians on stage. Recognized as a treasured leader in the musical community, Golan strives to connect on and off the stage.

Lawrence Golan conducts the Bayerische Philharmonie in
collaboration with the Denver Philharmonic in a program featuring American composer/conductor Diane Wittry's Ode to Joy Fanfare, and two works by Beethoven: Choral Fantasty with pianist Maria Stadnik, and Symphony No. 9.
