Paul Phillips conducts his last Meyerson concert with the Meadows Symphony Orchestra
Phillips, a fine musician who’s retiring after 26 years as SMU’s orchestra director, has faced artistic challenges in recent years.
After a two-year COVID-19-imposed hiatus, Phillips and the Meadows Symphony returned to the Meyerson Symphony Center for a concert Tuesday night. The “Meadows at the Meyerson” program honored the memory of the late Martha Raley Peak, who with her family earlier honored Phillips by endowing the orchestra director’s position. After 26 years on the job, Phillips is retiring at the end of this school year.
As with performing arts organizations and conservatories worldwide, the pandemic has challenged SMU’s orchestral program. But even before that, faculty turnover had taken a toll on formerly superb violin sections.
