It is with great pleasure we congratulate Oded Ben-Horin with his dissertation “Improvising the Bridge” today, and his new official title: Doctor! Oded is one of the “founding fathers” of the GSO, and led the production of the first operas. He is still the visionary coordinator of the GSO and much of his doctoral work is connected to it. The rest of the team continues to learn so much from him.
Mid-May he will be the speaker at the GSO online session about music.
